Actually, according to the Martinsville Reporter-Times, the Martinsville Drive-In didn’t open until 2 days later. It opened on May 19, 1950 with “The Great Dan Patch” and “Here Comes Trouble” (unknown if short subjects were added due to blurriness).
Opening On May 17th, 1950.
The June 24, 1950 issue of BoxOffice wrote that the Martinsville was the last of three local drive-ins that all opened during May 1950, after the “Center Brook” and the Templeton Wheel-In, 10 miles north.
“Costing approximately $60,000, (the Martinsville) provided not only 300 car speakers but also benches for 200 non-car owners. The Martinsville Drive-In charges 40 cents for patrons in cars and 25 cents for walk-in customers.”
