Drive-In With A Future Everett Motor Is Planned For Expansion Although theatre construction has been closely restricted, and probably will re¬ main so for a long time, the designers of an outdoor theatre between Everett and Seattle, Wash., have made some excellent provisions for expansion when the oppor¬ tunity presents itself. Completed last spring, the Everett Motor, owned by Motor Theatre of Everett, Inc., is a fine example of design¬ ing for the future, for architects Paul Carlson, Frederick Eley, and Barney Grevstad included in their plans for the theatre enough flexibility to allow for expansion and additions to the Everett Motor’s facilities without any drastic re¬ visions to the present structures. For example, the refreshment building has been planned to permit a doubled capacity when construction controls are relaxed, and the expansion may be effected with a minimum of expense or alteration. The screen tower was positioned in such a way as to permit the addition of a stage for live shows. The boxoffice building was designed with the future addition of a manager’s residence and employes’ locker rooms in mind. Present capacity on the Everett Motor’s 17-acre site is 732 cars. Location is ap¬ proximately four miles south of Everett, on Washington State’s heavily traveled Highway 99. While the Everett Motor is not an elaborate drive-in by the standards that prevailed at the peak of outdoor theatre construction a few years back, it is an attractive one, and its components are treated in such good taste that they man¬ age to convey an air of luxury. Compactly designed, the Everett Motor's refreshment lounge features a slanting window to cut screen reflections so patrons may watch the film while taking time out for a snack. A single building, which may be easily enlarged, houses projection room and refreshment lounge.
