The Yreka Drive-In opened its gates on June 29, 1950 with Randolph Scott in “The Walking Hills” and Sabu in “Song Of India” (unknown with extras added), featuring original installations of a 50x40ft screen. It was closed in 1959.
Boxoffice, Feb. 11, 1950: “YREKA, CALIF. - Surveyors are at work on the site here where a 425-car, $65,000 drive-in is to be erected by Robert L. Lippert Theatres. The drive-in will be built south of town and opened about April 1. The firm’s construction superintendent J. E. Henning is here now supervising work.”
In Boxoffice’s roundup of drive-ins opened in 1950, (printed Feb. 17, 1951), it showed the 380-car Yreka as already in operation, owned by Robert Lippert.
Now Siskiyou Valley aparments. McNeil’s is now Bargain Liquors. The box office was a Yreka Bowling lanes. Please update.
