Boxoffice, July 2, 1955: “The Chief Drive-In, one mile west of town, has been reopened by owner H. B. Leathers after renovation.”
Boxoffice, March 21, 1960: “H. B. ‘Red’ Leathers … is dismantling his drive-in theatre, which he has not operated in several years.”
Opened November 1, 1951 with the film, “Dear Brat”. Closed on October 29, 1956 with “Dakota Incident.” It does not appear to have reopened.
A 1966 aerial photo shows the outline of the drive-in surrounding a home.
Here is an overhead view of the property today. https://tinyurl.com/y9qe8gbv
