Opened on May 6, 1949 with Errol Flynn in “The Adventures of Robin Hood”. This one-screen drive in theatre was just north of Mt. Carmel, PA along PA Route 54. Used for paintball recently, not sure when it ceased to be a theatre. The sign, which was exactly like the sign for the Mahoning Drive-In, has since fallen to the ground. The screen still stands.

Based on this photo from the Drive-ins. com website, little remains of the Natalie Drive-in.
The Magazzu family of Hazleton ran this dr-in for a while as an x rated fare. The Magazzu’s also ran the valley Dr-in in Ginther, just north of Hometown and south of Hazletown Pa. on route 309. The Valley Dr-in was owned by Joe Petrole & has always been a family dr-in. The lot is still there with some remnants of the dr-in.
Google Street view from August 2016 shows the screen tower still standing, not in great shape at all, but still there.
