The Riviera stood on 18th Street, at First Avenue. Like a number of Rock Island’s movie houses, it is long gone, having closed around the mid-50s. It was still open in 1945, according to the Film Daily Yearbook from that year and had seating for 650. Any additional infomation on the Riviera would be appreciated.

Attended this theater in the early 1950’s. Would take the bus from 12th Street in Rock Island on Saturday mornings to watch a double feature cowboy movie with serial in between. Many found memories.
How do I upload a photo showing the 1937 location of this theater??
The Riviera Theatre opened as the Majestic Theatre.
The old picture is from 1937 and shows the location of the Riviera on the West side of 18th Street between two larger building. Upper side just left of center.
