I suspect “T Hetherington” was Tom Hetherington, who also ran a drive-in at nearby Balfour in the late 1940s.

Opened in August 1952.

It was owned and operated by the Noble family who still lives there.

Neat! Here’s a link to the Google Street View of the Starlight sign, still intact in 2018: https://goo.gl/maps/yFsf5dLtiqPJA8Mi8

I have a closer address to what was the old entrance road, 4695 BC-3A, Nelson, BC.

The marquee is still standing. It is located just east of the entrance to the Mini-Mall Storage. From the photo, the entrance road to the drive-in is now a private entrance.

I suspect given the location of the marquee and the photo of when the drive-in was still in operation, that the road now called Starlight Drive was probably the exit road from the drive-in.
