I’ve read this theatre is where the hugely successful Depression-era promotion “Bank Night” was first created by promoter Charles Yaeger.
Here is another photo of the Egyptian Theater.
Encylopedia of the American Theatre Organ, Volume 2 indicates that a Robert-Morton organ was installed in the Egyptian (Rialto) Theatre in 1928.
Film Daily Year Books for 1931, 1946, and 1949 indicate that the theatre was operated by Fox Theatre subsidiaries.
Here are some great photos of the Egyptian, including pre-restoration, during restoration, and current views.
