Opened on September 24, 1950 with Glenn Ford in “The Return Of October” (unknown if extras added).
A reminder of Boxoffice-based false alarms.
Boxoffice, Jan. 17, 1953: “EUGENE, ORE. - Ken Hirons, local businessman, has taken over operation of North’s Drive-In. The sale price was estimated at $18,000.”
Boxoffice, March 7, 1953: “EUGENE, ORE. A. B. Olsen, owner of the North End Drive-In, has not sold the outdoor theatre, as was incorrectly reported in the January 17 edition. A drive-in restaurant, in no way connected with the North End Drive-In was sold, leading to the confusion.”
