I am looking for information about individual screen drive-in theatres using
a circular lay-out and rear-projection screens. The prototype was developed
in Urbana, Missouri as a method to bring out-door screens to rural/limited
population areas in the 50s but were later touted as a way to show X movies
not visible off premises in order to comply with zoning restrictions. I am
familiar two circular drive-ins in Missouri, one in northwest Arkansas, and
one in the Washington (state) area- which date to the later 70s and early to mid
1980s. I am looking for more information about this type of theatre.
