A 1964 aerial shows no evidence of a drive-in west of Schulenburg that I can find.
There was a drive-in just east of Shulenburg at 1010 FM1579.
You can still see the faint hint of the outline and ramps today. I’m not saying that this is the Midway Drive-In, but I was able to find this one.

The area that dansdriveintheater depicts does not show any evidence that a drive-in existed in that location.
A 1964 aerial, which was during the time the drive-in was in operation, shows only a house and a field.
Good job all. The newspaper says “west of the city” but it’s clearly to the East in the aerial view at 1010 FM 1579 at US 90 and near Humplik Lane.
