A 1945 photo of the Rialto can be seen here.
The “RIALTO THEATER” marquee was a colorful sight for many years in the center of downtown Potsdam. My dad and I spent many Saturday nights watching a double-bill in the 40’s & 50’s. Lobby and window showcards were colorfully displayed inside and out. The theater was attractive and modest in design and plenty roomy. In addition to the popular ‘B’ movies shown on weekends, I remember – “NIAGARA”, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, and the 1954 version of “TITANIC”. For me its pretty hard to beat a Randolph Scott western and a Bill Stern Sports Reel. Ahh !! Those were the days. Ray , Charlotte, NC. (formerly Winthrop, NY)
