Needing advertisement for a double feature at the
Twilite Drive-In Theatre, located on Greenville Highway
near Central City, featuring the films
“Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla” and
“Dead Man’s Gold”.
Drive-in advertisements like this peaked during the early 1950s boom of outdoor cinema culture across the United States.
“Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla” (1952) starred horror icon Bela Lugosi alongside comedy duo Martin and Lewis impersonators Dean Riesner and Sammy Petrillo, while “Dead Man’s Gold” (1948) was a B-western starring “Lash” La Rue and Al “Fuzzy” St. John.
The clipping highlights a classic Friday and Saturday night double feature, a staple weekend promotion for local open-air movie lots.
