The second opening feature was “The Old Spanish Trail”.
Why the name Malta?
The Malta has its own historical marker out front, erected by the city of Malta in 2007. It reads: Malta Drive-In Signs / Open-air theater started in 1949 by Sarto and Leona Smaldone, drive-In purchased in 1988 by brothers Ed and Tom Caro, in operation for over 50 years.
The Malta added a second screen in 2008. It converted to digital projection during the 2012-2013 offseason. The Ballston Journal interviewed co-owner Edward Caro about the switch in March 2013.
I worked there the summer of 1963 for Sarto
I have a picture I took a couple of years ago…looks the same as it did 40 years ago
