The El Rancho Drive-In opened its gates on April 5, 1951 with Alan Ladd in “Whispering Smith” along with an unknown short and a newsreel.
The El Rancho Drive-In closed for the final time on May 4, 1969 after a tornado ripped through the drive-in and destroyed a big chunk of its screen. It appears that it never reopened afterward.
Same drive-in?
Boxoffice, Nov. 18, 1950: “DeRidder, La. - Gay Ranchero Drive-In, $80,000, under construction. John Harvey, manager.”
