{"title":"Lone Tree Drive-In","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lone Tree Drive-In in Victoria, Texas, opened on March 8, 1957, on Lone Tree Road east of town. Frels Theatres built it on 79 acres that Rubin S. Frels is said to have spotted from his small airplane. Harvey A. Jordan was the architect and contractor, and planning and construction took about two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA May 1956 trade item announced a 1,000-car drive-in on Lone Tree Road, with Frels as vice-president and general manager of Frels Theatres and Doyle Oliver as general manager. By autumn the report was a 900-car house under construction. Boxoffice gave it a three-page spread in May 1957 and described a 120-foot screen. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cinematreasures.org\/theaters\/11691\"\u003eCinema Treasures\u003c\/a\u003e lists room for 900 cars. It was laid out for a second screen that was never built. There was a kiddieland with a motorized ferris wheel and merry-go-round, a cafeteria-style concession stand that sold a Frelsburger, and a small grocery store at one end for forgetful shoppers. When Hurricane Carla hit in 1961, Variety reported that the circuit's Tejas and Azteca theaters in Victoria were severely damaged, while the Lone Tree withstood the wind. Cinema Treasures says the storm tore up the screen, and it was repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe family trade did not last. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cinematreasures.org\/theaters\/11691\"\u003eCinema Treasures\u003c\/a\u003e says R and X rated films began in the 1970s.
