{"title":"Gulf Drive-In","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gulf Drive-In in Corpus Christi, Texas, opened on January 21, 1949, with A Date With Judy, at 4044 South Port Avenue, then on the edge of town. It was built for Underwood and Ezell, a Texas circuit, with Jack Corgan as architect, and it held 500 cars at first. An October 1948 trade item, before construction began, named Underwood and Smith as owners and gave a planned capacity of 750 cars. The back of the screen tower carried a big mural of a seagull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theater was enlarged to 750 cars in the spring of 1952, and the seagull gave way to a mermaid. In April 1954 Claude Ezell opened The Robe in CinemaScope there, using an in-car stereophonic speaker he had developed. Ezell sold in the mid-1950s to the circuit that became Rowley United. By 1959 Ed Farmer managed the Gulf. He ran a Trading Day that July with the receipts split between a children's hospital and the National Foundation, and in 1960 a trade paper gave him a prize for a year-round giveaway program of concession coupons, free-coffee heralds for cold or rainy nights and an intermission drawing. In 1968 the company leased the Gulf to T. Bob Cuellar, who ran it along with the Buccaneer Drive-In and the Tower Theatre for Spanish-language films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe end came over who could see the screen. According to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cinematreasures.org\/theaters\/33636\"\u003eCinema Treasures\u003c\/a\u003e contributor, residents of the La Armada II housing project, who had a clear view of it, complained about soft-core films in 1977, and a court stopped the season. The Gulf came back in 1978 with regular double features. Complaints continued, and the operators gave up after a last show on November 5, 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn arsonist destroyed the vacant theater in 1981.
