The 1963 motion picture almanac lists Alliance Amusement theaters in Peru as the Peru Drive-In, the Wallace, the Roxy and the Miami Open Air Drive-In. The Eastwood was not an Alliance theater, obviously, but this gives you an idea of the different theaters in Peru in the early sixties, before the Eastwood became the only show in town.

I got the info from the 1963 motion picture almanac. It doesn’t give any addresses, unfortunately. I’ve noticed some errors but for the most part it seems accurate enough.
