History of the Drive-In Movie Theater The story of the drive-in movie theater begins with one man. That man was Richard Milton Hollingshead, Jr., born on February 25, 1900, the "father" of the drive-in. The drive-in got its humble beginnings in the driveway of Hollingshead’s Riverton, New Jersey home, at 212 Thomas Avenue. This is where his first experimentations took place. Setting a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of the family car, he projected the film onto a screen he had nailed to a
Working Title Drive in movie theaters were the a pretty popular thing from the 1940s through the 1960s for many friends and families across the United States. They were reportedly created because the creators mom had a hard time fitting in traditional indoor theaters, and so he played a movie with a projector on the hood of his car and a screen.

Drive-in theatres, fixing up cars, and rock n’ roll were the only things that mattered to teenagers in the 1950’s. It is hard to find a drive-in theatre today but in the 50’s they were the place to go. It was where you went on a date especially if the boy had a car. Rock n’ roll is still considered the music that teenagers listen to during their rebellious stage, though the sound has changed drastically. From a time that gave the world movie theaters, colour television, and records from artists like
Twister The movie that I watched was called Twister. It is a movie that is about the study of tornado's and a story of one of the actors lives called Joe. As a little girl, Joe's father was killed by an F-5 tornado( This is the largest size tornado possible). The movie begins with the actual death of Joe's father in 1969.

Drive-in Movie Theaters America is home to many unique things. For instance, movie entertainment is native to the United States. In the early nineteen hundreds, Americans combined two of their favorite things: cars and movies. They were called drive-ins and they were very popular in the United States.

A Great Solution for a Night of Fun Imagine being able to have a theater all to yourself during a movie. The article “Drive-Ins: The Last Great Movie Show” by Melissa Shaw-Smith describes how Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr. went from a sprinkler and a radio to a thriving business taken country-wide. The idea was that you could comfortably watch a film from your own car as it was projected through a fabric screen. This appealed to families because they could have complete privacy, children were able
their own tickets, the movie theater would increase their income because there would be a rising number of tickets sold. The thought of a sixteen year old acquiring the ability to drive 70 miles per hour down the interstate is ridiculous when the same young adults cannot buy a rated R movie ticket, if teenagers have the responsibility and maturity to drive a car, they should most likely be mature enough to view a movie that is rated R. When teens are old enough to drive, they enter a new stage of
Drive-Ins started to develop even more and began to make their own systems, techniques, and policies, Sal-Val being one of the first extremely prosperous ones. The Sal-Val was opened on June 10th, 1938 just outside of Burbank, California and was owned by the California Drive-In Theatres Corporation.

when I am viewing them. Movies are fun to go to see at a theater but watching at home can actually be a better experience. Watching movies at home allows me to pause the movie for bathroom and food I can turn up the volume as loud as I want and I’m not paying nearly twenty dollars to watch a two hour movie. Movie theaters they are loud and obnoxious people filled spaces. While watching a movie is fun it is also inconvenient and expensive. Theater movie tickets range from five to nine dollars a ticket

actor in Stratford upon Avon. When Shakespeare was alive, cars were not yet invented. Although Shakespeare did not have a car, we can image what he would drive based on different aspects such as wealth, distance traveled, and social status. I believe that Shakespeare would drive a red 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE. I believe that Shakespeare would drive a 1962 Ferrari based on his wealth.

go out to the movies. The problems in getting to the theater, the theater itself, and the behavior of some patrons are all reasons why I often wait for a movie to show up on TV. First of all, just getting to the theater presents difficulties. Leaving a home equipped with a TV and a video recorder isn't an attractive idea on a humid, cold, or rainy night. Even if the weather cooperates, there is still a thirty-minute drive to the theater down a congested highway, followed by the hassle of
When debating Netflix and movie theaters the factors to consider are convenience, variety, price, and the experience. These are the four most important factors, because people want the best quality that is the most cost effective.

Then as teenagers they are interviewed by an Israeli news crew and many boys express the desire to become a famous actor one day. After Arna dies there is no one to hold the theater together and the children start to see that the theater did not do much to help drive out the Israeli Army from their homes.

Every passing day, fewer people appreciate theater. Most of the time, we prefer watching Netflix over a stage performance. Because it easier, you don’t have to get up drive to the arena, plus it will probably cost you less, depending on the play you are going to see. With Netflix you have access to thousands of movies with a click of a button. Theater companies giving discounts to students, senior, veterans or even giving away free tickets.
