C. H. Halvorson to Build
Airer at Scobey, Mont.
SCOBEY. MONT.—C. H. Halvorson, operator
of the Rex Theatre here, and his partner
Stanton Danelson, farmer, have started
construction of a 200-car drive-in south of
town on Highway 13 following purchase of a
seven-acre site there. Halvorson and Elmer
Jackson of Plentywood had planned to build
an $80,000 indoor house, but abandoned the
project, and Jackson dropped out of the local
situation. Halvorson then purchased the Rex
Theatre from the Marlenees, and will remodel
it as soon as the drive-in is ready for
operation.
