HISTORY



The Melody 49 Drive In located at 7606 Pleasant Plains Road in Brookville opened
for viewing July 1st, 1966. With space for 1,100 cars extending across 18 acres!
A Cinemiracle Picture Screen sized at 75’ x 130’ was used so that both 35mm and
70mm movies could be shown. The cost of the year round theatre was estimated at
$500,000 by Ralph T. Sharp, Inc, the General Contractor for the project.
Circle-R electric car heaters were provided during the winter to adventurous
movie goers. Michael Chakeres, then vice-president and general manager of
Chakeres Theaters, Inc. stated that the new theater would “have first run and
subsequent run family-type shows similar to Southland 75 (Drive-In). This is a
fast growing area and will serve Brookville, Englewood, Trotwood and other
communities.”



Melody 49 began their gala opening with a giant fireworks display, followed by
three hit movies, including the incredible undersea adventure ‘Around the World
Under the Sea’ starring Lloyd Bridges. In 1982 Melody 49 switched to a sound
process with operated through a special cable installed above the drive-in
parking area. The movie soundtrack was transmitted through the cable, which
broadcasted over an AM frequency that could be picked up by the patron’s car
radio. In 1998 this was replaced by an FM frequency.

The theater changed it name to the Melody 49 Twin in 1987 after a second motion
picture screen was added. Taken from Southland 75 after it closed, the smaller
screen was set up at the back of the lot and could accommodate approximately 200
cars. So when attendance at the major screen drops off, we can move the film
to the smaller screen and bring in a new picture for the major
screen,  explained Grant Frazee, general manager of Chakeres Theaters at the
time.




DID YOU KNOW?

 * Melody 49 was the second all-medallion theater in Ohio, meaning that
   everything was electrically operated, including the heating and
   air-conditioning.


 * The three lane snack bar, designed by architect R. J. McNutt, was built to be
   capable of serving 2,000 patrons in 30 minutes. Since most refreshments were
   bought during the ten minute intermission, quick service was of the utmost
   importance. Automatic food warmers were installed to ensure that the snacks
   remained hot and delicious.
