Although the last two reels were missing and the sound portions of the film also were gone, the Paramount release was still very impressive, especially as accompanied by Dick Hyman on the Baldwin organ.

Airers WILKES-BARRE, PA. — In spite of devastating winter weather, energy crunches, tightened finances and stiff first-run competition from the indoor movie houses, the long, hard winter did not seem to hurt the six drive-ins operating in this northeastern Pennsylvania area. Of the six ozoners in the immediate area, four have been operating on a seven-day-aweek basis, including the West Side Drivein at Larksville and the Comerford Drivein in Dupont, both owned and operated by Sportservice of Buffalo, N.Y.; the independently owned Oak Hill Drive-in. Moosic, and the Garden Drive-in, Hunlock Creek. Another airer, the Wilkes-Barre Drivein, only operated weekends, while the West Wyoming Drive-In in West Wyoming is waiting for fairer weather to reopen for the season. The only underskyer to shutter was the Sunset Drive-In in Mountaintop. The Wilkes-Barre Drive-In, which usually closes for one month when winter is at its worst, lost two to three months' business this past season, according to Arthur Scavo, manager. "When highways are impassable," he said, "you can't expect people to fight their way to a drive-in." The major problem, Scavo said, apart from the weather itself, is the matter of vandalism. "But it's a problem we've learned to live with," he added. "Financially, it's too high to overcome. Prosecution is tough, especially when the damage has been caused by juveniles." The only other time of the year when patronage falls down is in the fall when football is king, Scavo said, because the Wilkes-Barre caters to a clientele generally 16 to 25 years of age. This drop usually lasts from September until Thanksgiving. At present, Scavo said the ozoner is doing standard business "but once the weather gets better, the drive-in again will excel in the type of movie that has made us the home of big pictures." Scavo points out that the Wilkes-Barre Drive-In plays first-run features during its regular spring and summer season. Scavo explained that he feels the demand for different types of motion pictures may be influenced by social trends but the outdoor theatres will continue to have a unique group of patrons year after year. At the Wilkes-Barre Drive-in, where there is no charge for children under 14, rainchecks and refunds are provided for dissatisfied customers.
