It appears from the overhead view on Google Maps that the screen has been removed.
Boxoffice, June 18, 1965: “INDIO, CALIF. - Robert L. Lippert, E. Van Gortel and the Indio Co., owners of the Aladdin and Desert theatres and the Indio Drive-In here, have purchased … two (theaters) in Parker, Ariz. … The Parker properties, purchased from C. Corneal, consist of a theatre and a drive-in.”
The Parker drive in theatre was closed permanently before 1986. I was there back then and it was already closed. The projection equipment had already been removed but the speakers were still on the poles. Now everything is gone except for the screen, snack bar foundation and ramps.
some great pics can be found on this site!
