Actually, the name Winter Garden Drive-In was derived from the name for that particular region of Texas. It had no direct tie with the nearby town of Winter Haven.

Greatest Star Power: Elvis Presley, John Wayne, and Cantinflas. Oftentimes nothing but their names would be placed on the theater sign.

Biggest Loser Picture: Dr. Dolittle circa 1967. It certainly lived up to its name.

Biggest Winner Picture: Almost any first run Elvis movie.

What hurt the most: Television and Daylight Saving Time

Most interesting promotion: LUCKY, a derivative of BINGO. You could win a tub full of groceries (heavily biased with Flour), or maybe a kitten.
