Patio Drive-In

Boxoffice, Aug. 29, 1953: (with photo) “CAMERON, MO. - Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Conyers, who live just behind the Patio Drive-In here, tell their friends and fellow citizens they have "the world’s largest television screen.” The elderly couple can sit on their front porch and enjoy the pictures being shown at the 250-car Patio. W. A. Silvers, owner and operator, had a speaker line run to the Conyers home when he constructed the drive-in earlier in the summer, and now the Conyers enjoy the shows nightly without leaving the house, thanks to the neighborly showman."

Boxoffice, July 11, 1953: “Silvers and Stafford opened the new Patio Drive-In on Highway 36 here recently. The theatre is owned by local showman Bill Silvers and Mrs. Pearl Stafford, Mrs. Zeltha Crawford and Kenneth and Marlow Stafford.”
