situated in a beautiful wooded area on the Borden highway, four miles from town. the new North River Drive-In Theatre presented its first show to a capacity crowd last evening. The comfort and the pleasure with which patrons can see and hear a show at this new theatre was indicated by the many favorable comments heard from the various patrons.
The ultra modern lunch room was generously patronized and customers were pleased with the service and the ease with which the large crowds could be han- died.
A most pleasing feature of this new outdoor theatre. which is re- putedtobeoneof the beat in Canada. is the ample space for the movement of can and the convenience of having individual speakers for each automobile. The volume of these speakers can be individually controlled to suit the tastes of car occupants. The giant screen could be seen with equal clarity from any position on the grounds.
A short drive from the City takes movie goers to this beauti- ful outdoor thcatre which win no doubt prove to be a populsr ren- dezvous for both young and older People. It is 9 delightful place to spend an evening.
The management reports that the sound on three or four of tlie ramps did not come up to expects- tlons and they regret any moon. venience patrons may have emeri- enced in this area. However-., en- Klneers will be put to work to dis- cover the cause of the trouble and there is every reason to mu", that a. supposed short in the wire will be discovered before the next performance. All the speakers on the grounds were inspected last Friday and Saturday and found to 170 living satisfactory reception. Th! heavy rains which have been experienced recently were given as a reason for the faulty reception.
