These include the Lakeland drive-in, Lakeland, Fla. ; Grandview, Gor
ham, N. H.; Bayshore, Bayshore, Long Island, N. Y. ; Danville, Danville, Pa.; North Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, N. C.; Oakland, Oakland, Md. ; Lafayette Twin, Lafayette, La.; Paducah Twin, Paducah, Ky. ; Y-Not, West Point, Nebr., and many others.
Another folder is devoted to the Ballantyne stereophonic sound systems for theatres. It includes photographs and descriptions of the “6400 series package” for theatres with capacities that are over 1200 seats; and the “3400 series package” for theatres with seating capacities of less than 1200.

Complete with photographs and descriptive data, it describes the “Dub-1Cone” in-car speakers, the “Sound-Master” amplification system specifically designed for drive-ins, and other projection and sound equipment included in the Ballantyne “package” for drive-ins.
DRIVE-IN SCREEN "BEFORE" AND "AFTER" APPLYING NEW PAINT
One of the first drive-ins to use "Perma-Brite," the new outdoor screen paint manufactured by the W. J. Ruscoe Company, Akron, Ohio, was the Montrose drive-in at Akron — with results as pictured here. The screen is shown in its "before" status at left where the patterns of its transite block construction are in evidence. In the view at right the screen is shown
following application of "Perma-Brite." (Also note the contrast achieved by use of "Perma-Brite Black' at the base of the tower.) The new paint has a rubber base and can be either brushed or sprayed on. It comes in fivegallon drums. A free sample of a half-pint is available to exhibitors writing the company on their letterheads (483 Kenmore Street, Akron 13, Ohio).
