By 1981, the Cantors had changed the name of their company to Priority Theaters. Besides this drive-in, Daniel and Joseph Cantor owned the Shadeland Outdoor, the South 31 Outdoor and the National Outdoor, all in Indianapolis.
It was still the Lafayette Road Outdoor Theater in 1963, so the change was sometime after that, apparently. This was part of the Cantor Theaters chain at that time.
