That photo was printed in the April 29, 1948 issue of the Amarillo Globe-Times. The original caption:
Amarillo’s new drive-in theater, the Trail, opens tonight on Highways 60 and 66 near the “Y.” Owner and operator W. O. Bearden said the first show will begin at 7:45 o'clock tonight, but the gates will be open an hour before showtime. The picture for the opening is “Gunfighters” starring Randolph Scott. The sign in the foreground is at the highway entrance to the drive-in. In the background is the back of the screentower on which Artist Tex Merrick of Tri-State Advertisers is finishing a huge mural of a covered wagon going down a canyon trail.
