Boxoffice, May 20, 1968: “E. T. "Ted” Borum, who owns and operates the Sunset Drive-In and the Earth Theatre in Earth, Tex., has purchased the El Rey Drive-In, Amherst, some 25 miles south of Earth. Borum has been playing Spanish-language pictures only, double billing them on Friday and Saturday and with a single bill on Sunday. In June, he will play one English-language picture on Thursday, with a bingo night."
