Located on the southeastern side of Reading, PA. It opened by 1950 as the Rajah Drive-In when it was operated by Jay Emanuel Theaters. By 1951 it had been renamed Mt. Penn Drive-In and was operated by Jay Emanuel Theatres and Fabian Theaters. It was operational until the late-1970’s when the theatre was demolished to build a K-Mart. One would enter from the back, travel about 100 yards to the ticket booth, and turn left into the parking/viewing area.

This was known for years as the Mt. Penn Drive In.
In 1968 the assistant manager was Richard Wolfe who runs the Cinema Treasures favorite Roxy Theatre in Northampton PA. I believe that Wolfe got some sort of recognition for his cutout Drive IN Marquee design for the Mt Penn Drive In for the movie “Where Were You When the Lights Went Out” with Doris Day.
