Both screen tests come back negative on this ground: no drive-in or big single screen ever stood on the US 20 corridor ground of New Carlisle in the record reached — the drive-in test was already run whole in this build's Arts & Culture file with the same result, and it is re-run here at theater strength against the corridor record with no different answer. The corridor's screens stood east, in the South Bend–Mishawaka ground, where the corridor's population was; those houses and fields are those builds' whole, and the boundary is the finding: a motorist leaving New Carlisle eastward on US 20 reached the screens; a motorist in New Carlisle had none. The second test fails the same way: no cinema inside another building — no storefront picture room, no hall wired for pictures, no church or school cinema of record — is named for this town in any source reached, and the picture-house absence already counted in the census article above is the same fact from the other side. A town that kept an opera house in 1884 and a school stage ever since simply never kept a screen of its own, in any building, in the record reached; the row prints at that result, its settler the town press runs, where a picture room's advertisements would be written.
