I am glad to know the IOKA still is around. It sounds like Roger Detzler and the staff are very dedicated. This pleasant theatre has a long history.

ERD commented about Rialto Theatre on Sep 27, 2008 at 1:33 pm

Edward C. Klapp opened the Rialto in 1917. It was located at the corner of Market and Grove Streets. In 1933, the Rialto became part of the Schine brothers' chain. The theatre was one of 27 theaters in the United States that premiered “Drums Along the Mohawk” in 1939.(This film also debuted in Gloversville – where the Schines lived and had their main offices – Schenectady, Utica and Albany.) Henry Fonda, whose family built the nearby town of Fonda, NY, starred in the film. He made a short appearance when the film premiered here and at the Glove theatre.

Excellent photo of the auditorium posted by Warren. The proscenium was very beautiful, too. What a shame this theatre didn’t eventually become a performing arts center. Public transportation is near by, but no parking lot.

I wish the Palace Theatre of Albany, NY would be interested
in having an organ restored to the auditorium.

Too bad, Projectionist 44. Maybe an enterprising group with vision will change this in the near future.

It would be wonderful to see this theatre fixed and reopened. It would probably do well if there is parking nearby.

Both spellings are correct. Theatre is a variant of theater. (“theatre” spelling comes from the French)

I recall seeing a revival of MGM’s “The Wizard Of Oz” at the Regency. That was a few years before home videos came out.

ERD commented about Stanley Theatre on Feb 23, 2008 at 9:07 am

I feel its nice for people to tour and see the different styles of movie palaces such as the Stanley theatre. However, the wonderful experience of seeing a movie and then a stage show is missing. Unfortunately in today’s modern world it has become too expensive to do this. Now with DVD’s, cable and sattlelight tv, that former type of presentation would not have enough of an audience to make it profitable on a regular bases.
