| | Welcome to Dickinson Theatres |
 | | It wasn’t long after when a second Lawrence theatre was opened, and within a brief period of time, the fledgling circuit had expanded its size and scope to include theatres in Junction City, Kans.; Ellsworth, Kans.; Beloit, Kans.; Great Bend, Kans. and Springfield, Missouri. |
 | | The first Dickinson drive-in opened in Pittsburg, Kans. and was followed in 1948 by the construction of the 81 Drive-In Theatre in Salina, Kans., the Shawnee Drive-In in Shawnee, Kans. and the Leawood Drive-In Theatre in Leawood, Kansas. |
 | | The next ten years became very important for Dickinson Theatres, as the construction of a major motor hotel complex, the Glenwood Manor Motor Hotel, began at 95th and Metcalf, just a short distance away from what would be Dickinson’s “Flagship” Glenwood Theatre, already in construction. |
