Title:

~~Drive-in Theatres. 1948 - Arcadia~~

Creator:

~~Hoffman-Luckhaus~~

Description:

The Drive-in theatre concept was first tried in the mid-1930s, but only after World War II did the idea gain widespread acceptance. Lee designed several Drive-in theaters, a type especially suited to the mild climate and car-dependent economy of Southern California. The Drive-in allowed the whole family to go to the movies in the family car, with no need for a baby-sitter. It also proved especially popular with dating teen-agers, who found Drive-ins the ideal refuge from watchful adult eyes. The Drive-in was also cheap to build. A large piece of land, a structure to display the screen and smaller buildings for tickets, refreshments and the projector were all that was needed. The parking lot was usually graded to provide the parked cars with a good angle for viewing the screen, and each space was equipped with a speaker that could be hooked to the dashboard to bring the sound into the car.
