The Rialto Theatre, located in Salt Lake City's Clift Building, was built in 1920. Originally called the Kinema Theater, the theater was later renamed the Rialto Theater.

It was last operated as a cinema under the name of Midtown Trolley Theater, showing discount movies. The Trolley theater chain was taken over by Plitt, which later became Cineplex Odeon.

The theater closed sometime in the 1980's and is currently used for live entertainment, and is known as the Off Broadway Theatre.

All the AKA's need to be added to the header, I had a difficuklt time finding the Midtown Trolley because it isn't listed as an AKA.

That photo was taken fro the corner of Broadway and Main St. Great photo, saw many movies at the Rialto, including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". They had special rates for the U students.
