The description is incorrect. It was always known as the Valley Auto Theatre. The Dixie Drive-in was located several miles north at 4915 Dixie Highway. The screen was relocated to the Holiday Drive-in in Mitchell, IN. The Valley’s screen was exactly Panavision in width, so it appears the Holiday lost a chunk along the way. http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/10000/photos/115324

A notorious kidnapping and murder of the ticket taker occurred at the Valley Drive-in in 1973. You can read all about it here:https://laurajames.typepad.com/clews/2007/05/the_valley_driv.html
