Opened On August 20, 1954 With “On Moonlight Bay” Along With A Cartoon Festival.
I wonder whether all of these features made it into the finished product.
Boxoffice, July 18, 1953: “Construction of a $250,000 combination drive-in theatre, restaurant, motel and service station at Chestermere Lake, a suburb of Calgary, is scheduled to begin this summer and be ready for business in 1954. Tentative plans also call for construction of a golf course, swimming pool, bowling alley, tennis court and children’s playground. Paul Hansen, a Calgary real estate man, is in charge of the promotion. Plans call for a glass-fronted auditorium with a seating capacity of 350 to cater to walk-in patrons. Capacity of the outdoor theatre will be 500 cars.”
