The Drive-In Layout Still Stands In 1992 7 Years After Its Demolishing.
From the May 9, 1960 issue of Boxoffice:
KAUKAUNA, WIS. – The 23-year-old Rialto and the Tower Outdoor theatres have been purchased from Harry Melcher of United Theatres, Milwaukee, by Marcus Theatres Management Co., for an undisclosed amount. The Tower Outdoor, north of Highway 41 between Kaukauna and Little Chute, has been a Marcus theatre on an operating rental basis for the last five years.
A more accurate address for this theater is 1600 Buchanan St, Little Chute, WI 54140. This points directly to the entrance road.
Please update.
Grand opening was on June 19, 1953 with “Kansas Pacific” starring Sterling Hayden, and “Feudin' Fools” with the Bowery Boys. Renamed the Oonly Outdoor Theater on May 24, 1985; the name based on County Route 00 where the drive-in was located and the fact that it was the only remaining operating outdoor theater in the greater Appleton area. Final night of operation was September 4, 1986 with “One Crazy Summer” and “Police Academy: Back In Training”. The site is now occupied by a custom furniture fabrication manufacturer, Shapes Unlimited.
