Each of these photos had been uploaded previously, but I thought I’d show how they were arranged when they first appeared in a DeVry Corporation ad in the Better Theatres section of the Feb. 13, 1948 issue of Motion Picture Herald. The original caption:

Pictured is the “PHIL-KRON” Drive-In, which occupies a 15-acre tract at the junction of Routes 51 and 66, Bloomington, Ill. This model drive-in is attracting Exhibitors, Architects and Contractors from all parts of the country … and setting box office records for the community. “PHIL-KRON” selected DeVry’s for their effectiveness in throwing a perfect image to the 37 x 42 ft. screen; also for the efficiency of DeVry’s improved In-Car Speakers that achieve a new standard of sound excellence, for their 850-car capacity theatre.
