The East 50 Drive-In Originally Set To Open On May 8th, 1952 With A Premiere Showing, But Pushed Over To May 9th, 1952 After Exceptions Had Later Turned Over To The Nearby Bedford Boys Club, Reported By The Bedford Daily-Times Mail.
Demolished in the early 1990s.
The April 6, 1957 issue of Boxoffice ran a two-page article, with photos, on the East 50’s kiddie train, which was installed in 1955. The track included a tunnel in the screen tower, where the train was stored at night and during the winter. It was an “exact replica of the Baltimore and Ohio National Limited crack train. Since the East 50 is located in the bailiwick of the B&O yards, Harry Switow, owner of the theatre, received splendid cooperation from the railroad officials.”
