I have to agree with the “Manwithnoname,” the Vermont drive-in was the FIRST drive-in theatre I went too, and it was very nice. I don’t remember when, but in the 60’s at least they had swings and things for the children, just below that big screen. I watched the movie “Jet Pilot” with Janet Leigh with some buddies in the car about a block west of the theatre, we made up our own words at the movie was shown. Located on the west side of Vermont Avenue, and just south of 174th Street. Many memories. Also the Harbor drive-in some miles south.
As the others know, but others may not, this theatre was located on the south/west corner of Atlantic Avenue and Whittier Boulevard. To the right of the marque is an opening, and inside of that was a very nice foyer, when I went there, there was a red carpet on each side of the foyer, and running north/south, under canopies. Truly a very nice theatre.

This theatre is located not far south of Avenue 57, on North Figueroa Street, which used to be Pasadena Avenue until sometime in the 1920’s.
