Closed with “Signs” on September 29, 2002.
Billboard, April 10, 1954: “Michael Delfino, co-owner of the Maple Drive-In, Carbondale, Pa., took as his bride Gwen Calibro, also of Carbondale.”
Correction Walnutport, not Berlinsville.
Opened in 1953. Closed in 2002. 300 cars. Screen sold in 2007 and moved to Beckys Drive-in in Berlinsville.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 971 Texas Palmyra Hwy. Now Wayne County Ford.
And i think the second feature was a stupid Comedy.95 % sure.Maybe one needs to laugh after that mass murderer.
Thanks Mike.
“THE BOSTON STRANGLER” played here in 1970.
Funny you should mention that…I though the name was MAPLE as well, but could not find a listing.
This drive-in came up as a match to the general address…and as I don’t recall there ever being a drive-in in Wayne-proper, I assume that it is the one I was thinking of (next to the Indian Orchard Cemetery.)
Should this be called the Maple Drive-In? Appears to be the same theater:

I recall many a 70’s summer evening watching some second-rate double feature…and always knowing that you would never fully see the end of the second feature, as the steam from the river behind the screen would eventually envelope the entire structure.
It WAS cool to have the cememtary right next door though…
I always wished they would have shown NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD…that would have been an eerie good time!
