The theatre was remodeled in 1953, by then-operator Keith Coleman, who also operated the American Theatre in Mount Carmel at that time. The theatre was closed in January 1989 and the building torn down in January 2000.

This drive-in was also in Mt. Carmel. I would add it but there seems to be no confirmation that it actually existed other than a sketchy bio on drive-ins.com.

I worked at the Uptown Theatre,the Carmel Drive-In, The Midway Drive-In in Lawrenceville, and the Olney Theatre…All during about a 3 year span… was a great job for a teenager!!
he Uptown Theatre launched on May 31, 1937 at 332-4 North Market Street in downtown Mount Carmel with “I Met Him in Paris.” It replaced Rogers' Cafe and Roberts' Barber Shop. In 1960, the Frisina Amusement Circuit bought the theatre. The Uptown was refurbished in 1976 in time for its 30th anniversary. It closed just after its fiftieth anniversary in August of 1987 as a dollar house but was reopened in 1988 and closed permanently in January of 1989. The theatre was demolished in January of 2000.
