Opened in 1954 as the Dyas 34 Drive-In, this single screen theater is now just the 34 Drive-In. It is located just outside Earlville, off Old Highway 34. This classic drive-in shows first-run movies from April-October, and has a large snack bar. Its original marquee was torn down in 2003. The 34 is one of only a handful of drive-in theaters still operating in Illinois.

If you folks want to see what a drive in theatre looked like in the 1950's go see this one. It is operated by a man named Ron Magnoni who takes pride in this great drive in. It was built by Charles (Chuck)Dyas who owned and operated a indoor theatre in this little farm town as well. Both Ron and myself use to love to listen to Charlie talk about the good old days riding the train into Chicago to book pictures. With grass ramps and food cooked to order this drive in is a great memorial to all the drive ins of the past and our friend forever Charles (Chuck) Dyas.
