The Rialto Theatre building is still standing and is now a 99cent store. The Rialto was owned by the Lemmucchi family who also owned the Granada Theatre across the street. The theatre used Powers model B Projectors.

Hello, any photos, old or recent, of the building?

The only photo I’ve found showing the Rialto is this ca.1940s shot of Baker Street, with the theatre at some distance in the center. A vertical sign for the Granada Theatre (presumably around the corner) can be seen at right.

From what I have found the 408 seat Rilato Theatre opened in 1921 and closed in 1952.
