The emergence of the automobile changed many things in American culture. This happened during the early parts of the 20th century.

1. Bookstore
   Library
2. Theater
   School

The drive-in culture actually encompasses many establishments such as banks, restaurants, and even chapels. But the drive-in theater is the most recognizable establishment in this group.

1. New York
   New Jersey
2. California
   Ohio

The widely recognized beginnings of the first American drive-in are rooted in New Jersey, specifically in Camden. But other historians also point to earlier “partial prototypes” being established in other parts of North America.

1. A pugilist match
   A sleepover
2. A social gathering
   An outdoor movie screening

Outdoor movie screenings were not a new concept when the drive-in theater was invented. But the drive-in narrowed it down to using a car as part of the outdoor screening experience.

1. Honda M
   Benz 501
2. Model T
   Porsche L

Henry Ford’s revolutionary ford Model T made cars affordable to the general public. This meant that many Americans could now own one, or two, or three!

1. Only 1
   More than 3
2. 10 short films and 1 long film
   5 short reels and 1 newsreel

Due to the logistics of the set-up, the early drive-in theater could only show one movie in a few days or an entire week, depending on its movie rental contract with producers.

   The Interstate Highway System
2. The Bronchial System
   The Metric System

Due to the development of the Interstate Highway System, roads greatly improved in America. This coincided with the boom of the automobiles.

1. The 1940s
   The 1900s
2. The 1970s
   The 1930s

It was during the 1930s when the concept for the drive-in theater was patented. It was held by businessman-inventor Richard Hollingshead Jr.

1. At the White House
   In his own house
2. In a community park
   At a nearby farm

Hollingshead used his own house to test several parts of the drive-in concept.

1. Kodak
   Lumix
2. Fuji
   Sony

Kodak held the early monopoly of film technology in the early 20th century. Thus, a Kodak projector was used for this experimental project.

1. Outside the fences
   At the entrance gate
2. Near the screen
   Underneath the lot

The early set-up had a huge speaker planted near the screen.

1. That all cars had a good view of the outdoor screen
   That bubblegum be outlawed inside
2. That patrons’ cars were brand-new
   That popcorn had melted butter

Since patrons would be sitting inside their cars to watch the film, Hollingston had to make sure all the cars had a good vantage point of the screen wherever they might be parked.

1. A second screen
   Pulleys
2. Tow trucks
   Ramps

Several parts of the land where the drive-in was had to have ramps, for unobstructed viewing.

   India
2. UK
   No one knows

"Wives Beware!" was originally entitled "Two White Arms." This British comedy was released in 1932.

1. They could watch a movie in the comfort of their cars

To watch a movie in the comfort of your car was a novelty for early drive-in theater patrons.

Drive-ins were initially designed to have something for the entire family. That was the intended demographic.

1. The drivers
   The ozoners
2. The curbers
   The bumpers

Ozoners was the term for drive-in movie patrons. Breathing fresh air while watching a film was unique indeed.

1. Grease
   Wicked
2. The Sound of Music
   Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

The movie musical, "Grease," was set in the ‘50s, so, of course, the drive-in theater had to be there.

1. They could walk around the place
   They had unlimited snacks access
2. More comfortable seating set up for them
   They could doze off in their car from time to time

It was reported that the drive-in inventor’s mother was an inspiration to have heavier-set people like her go watch a movie. Back then, theaters had smaller cramped rows and seats, not friendly to larger people.

1. He poked their eyes from a distance
   He placed trees around the establishment
2. He flashed light bulbs at them
   He hosed them down

Hollingston had tall trees planted all around the drive-in so as to block the screen. Smart and eco-friendly!

1. Got windows broken
   Complained of noise pollution
2. Got TP-ed
   Listened in on the movie of the day

Residents complained of noise pollution, forcing drive-in owners to renovate this portion of their business.

2. Night
   Late afternoon

Since it’s an outdoor screening, all film screenings were scheduled at night.

   The mailman

Babysitters reportedly complained that they no longer had work since parents could bring their children to the drive-in where they could sit or sleep in the backseat while they watched a movie.

1. Showed only silent films
   Turned off the sound
2. Cars had to move closer together
   Speaker poles near cars

Speakers mounted on poles were found beside the parking slots of cars. That way the sound was broken down into smaller units closer to the audience.

   Make some money

Drive-in theaters provided great date venues for teens back then.

Did you know all neon signs aren't made from neon gas? Only the color red is made from actual neon gas. The rest are various other gases that produce colors ranging from blue to green to purple and beyond.

1. Walkmans
   Using the car radios as speakers
2. Earphones were given to patrons
   Subtitles for the movies

Someone finally thought of broadcasting the film’s soundtrack over low radio frequencies that could be picked up by the cars’ built-in radios.

   Australia
2. Malta
   Bogota

Australia also got the drive-in craze early on.
