Family Drive-In
MD 51 several miles southeast of Cumberland, Md., at community of North Branch
capacity: very small from the looks of it, maybe 60-70 cars
known year of operation: 1951
currently: part of residential area (Pine Tree Lane, off 51)

Ads for this theatre ran in the Cumberland newspaper from opening night (July 28, 1951) thru the end of September, then disappeared. Unknown whether the drive-in itself lasted longer, although it was listed in the International Motion Picture Almanac until 1959, and in Theatre Catalog at least as late as 1955. It was across from what was then a country club.
