Title:

Drive-in Theatres - Ventura

Creator:

Morris ' Monroe

Description:

This earliest-known concept for a Drive-in theater by Lee, the Ventura Drive-In, shows a sophisticated use of illuminated triangular forms massed alongside the large illuminated screen structure and along the edges of the parking lot, creating an advertising sign for the theater out of the Drive-in form itself. The sharp-edged forms are clearly Art Deco in character, a style that is sometimes called Zig-Zag Moderne. The design vocabulary was adapted from usage current in theatre design at the time. A note on the back of the print reads: Original Conception Drive-In Plans Completed - Project not constructed.
