An item datelined Colby in the March 4, 1950 issue of Boxoffice said that the 350-car drive-in being built for Don Phillips was slated to open on May 23. The project had been designed by architect Truman Schlupp of Kansas City. I haven’t been able to discover if the target date for completion was met.
Was open by 1951 at the latest.
Motion Picture Herald, April 18, 1953: “At Colby, Kansas, a sunrise service was held at the Colby drive-in theatre, Easter Sunday. This was the first service of this type in the area.”
it was still open in 1980.
