Boxoffice, Sept. 10, 1956: “Boasting a 7?x32 screen, one of the largest in this part of the country, the Sunset Auto Vue has made its debut as Grangeville’s new drive-in. RCA projectors and 300 speakers, tilted screen on a tower 48 feet off the ground, and latest type concession equipment are features of the ozoner, which is just a mile from Grangeville’s business center.”

The January 13, 2020 Lewiston Tribune reports that high winds have destroyed the screen, and that the owner plans to rebuild.

In looking at a Google Street view of the Blue Fox theater the marquee for it does not have a separate location for the DI movies. Unfortunately the current Street View is from March of 2011 so no DI advertising is on it to see how they set it up. According to the directions it is 1.5 miles from the DI.

Why is the marquee several miles away?

The screen faces west, so while waiting for the movie, you might get to watch the sunset. Hence, the name.

This is a cool drive-in, although in a remote part of the state. The screen blew down in January of 2008. Instead of closing down, they bought a new Selby tower. The snack bar has good food & prices.
