dickneeds111. Are you sure you went to the Tu-Vu in 1962. There never was a drive-in at the end of NAS Miramar’s runways. Maybe it was the fog’s amplification of the aircraft engines?

Ergo the name, “Tu-Vu Drive-In”.

Re: the poor 19-year-old usher who fell to his death. Where did you hear that he was replacing a burnt out light bulbs in the ceiling? In an interview the day after the accident in the July 27, 1966 San Diego Union, the theater manager told a reporter that he had no idea what [William M.] Rubin was doing up there. “It’s a mystery to me. His duties wouldn’t take him up there.” Also, the article states that “Several children saw Rubin plunge through the ceiling, spraying bits of plaster over six rows of seats IN THE REAR of the theater. It also stated that few other of the 300 or so patrons saw him fall. Perhaps because it was at the rear during the program when the ceiling lights would have been off. One child reported, “I felt plaster falling on my head, I put my hands over my head and then I heard a loud noise. When I looked around, the usher was hanging over the seat.” How did the 13-year-old know it was the usher in a dark theater? Unless the manager turned on the lights after the loud noise. I’m surprised the witness wasn’t traumatized. The body’s impact reportedly bent the metal seat back.

Did anyone attend the July 3, 1965 live appearance of the Three Stooges?

Might be a weekend matinee for pre-teens.
