The screens were facing each other. We constructed a new snack bar and projection booth when we added the east screen in 1972. Rotus Harvey (my father) was the construction super on the East addition. I worked on the project as my first full time summer job. The marquee design is the same as the Westlane and Hammer Drive In theaters in Stockton. The marquee center mast has a man tipping his top hat, this was the logo for Westland Theaters Company.

Looks like the screens were facing each other, not back to back…. With back to back, you have to have 2 projection booths. Not really economical.

Just an empty lot now – you can easily see where the twin screens would have gone, back-to-back. Should be listed as closed for sure.

The Mooney Drive-In was demolished in 2006. Here is a circa 2005 photo.
