{"title":"Burnet Drive-In","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Burnet Drive-In in Austin, Texas, opened on June 23, 1950, at 6400 Burnet Road, with fireworks and a double bill that included Sitting Pretty. The spelling has one T, like the road. It was built for Claude Ezell's Dallas drive-in company, and the American-Statesman wrote up its equipment at length: 750 in-car speakers, a snack bar with a horseshoe counter, a playground with merry-go-rounds and elephant slides, and an electric traffic system. A board at each ramp showed drivers whether any speakers were free, and Ezell's general manager held the patent on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sign ran the name in tilted square tiles, one letter each, with DRIVE-IN below them and a long tilted attraction board on three legs under that. The Burnet and the Chief Drive-In were Austin's two drive-ins in the Film Daily Year Book listings of the 1950s. At Christmas 1951 a trade item has Santa Claus visiting both, handing every child in attendance a candy stocking. A 1954 Motion Picture Herald piece on drive-in screen construction used a finished screen at the Burnet as its example of one installation style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrans-Texas Theaters of Dallas ran the place from about 1961 to 1975. In early 1963 Boxoffice reported that Trans-Texas had added garlic-flavored kosher frankfurters to the snack bars at the Burnet and the Chief, after they sold well at its Dallas indoor houses. Burnet manager Don Burroughs said patrons came back for seconds of both hot dogs and drinks. A 1964 Motion Picture Exhibitor caption shows him at a Trans-Texas managers' meeting in Dallas. In 1966 Burroughs and Jack Simpson of the Burnet won a $100 fourth prize in an MGM and Seven Arts contest for the best campaign on the film She.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the 1970s the bills had changed. A projectionist who photographed the marquee in 1973 says the titles on it that day were German soft-core films, though the theater also ran mainstream pictures in those years. One Austin history links the Burnet to a promotion handing out packets of green blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Burnet closed in April 1976. A commenter gives April 1, and the Statesman ran a notice on April 18 saying another Austin drive-in was gone. The lot became Burnet Road Self Storage. The old snack bar appears to be its office.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burnet-drive-in-t-shirt-heavyweight","title":"Burnet Drive-In T-Shirt (Heavyweight)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Burnet Drive-In in Austin, Texas, opened on June 23, 1950, on Burnet Road, with fireworks and a double bill.
