Anyone remember J.J. Rodriguez's Teatro Panamericano at 3104 Maple? Became the Festival in 1965, with Rodriguez remaining as vice-president and treasurer of the newly formed Academy Theatres "chain," of which the Festival was the initial (and perhaps only) holding.
An article in the November 22, 1965 issue of Boxoffice magazine relates that Rodriguez, who "has been in the industry for 30 years concentrating on Latin American theatres...also owns the Auto-Vista Drive-In in Dallas."
Thought I knew all of Dallas' film theatres from this time period - never heard of the Auto-Vista, or saw any ads for it in the DMN or the DT-H. Anyone have a clue about this apparently Spanish language drive-in theatre?
