Your very welcome! You sure have done extensive research, Great job! The you for sharing. I came across your post while looking for some of my Uncles Murals. Your hunch is correct, i spoke with mom she remember the female dancer and guitarist in the back ground, but did recall a male dancer. Her memory was pretty cloudy today. Mom remembered a drive-in off Lancaster having a cook squatted down cooking beans in a long handled iron skillet. The bull i recalled wasn’t one of his mom couldnt recall witch drive-in that was on. Uncle Arvall Dean worked at a Ft Worh Co. That painted murals and blow neon glass for business. Hope you can find all your looking for.
Oops. 😳 I meant to say she didn’t recall a male dancer.
Beth36, the other drive-in theatre your Mom remembers was the Pike. Here’s a link to its page:

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to carry this conversation with you offline because I have a few other questions I’d like to ask about your uncle. Where could I reach you at, please? Thank you again, Beth36!
