What’s really strange is that this was originally meant to operate as a twin-screen drive-in, but turns out that it operated as a single-screener throughout its history. There is a set of traces facing away from the theater itself, but no screen nor projection booth was established at the opposite side.
The Oct. 1, 1955 issue of Boxoffice ran a two-page spread, with photos of the Twin Ranch. “Only one screen was ready for last summer, serving 300 cars. Mounted on a tower of pine poles set in concrete and braced with welded drill stem steel, the 41x82-foot screen was constructed of center match, covered with felt and faced with Transite.”
