A late C. Howard Crane design, the Rainbo opened in 1939, and sat just 260. It was situated across the street from the far larger Grand Riviera and not far from the Riviera’s Annex. The Rainbo survived until 1950.

Looks like the theater is still intact.
Recent exterior shot: here
Can anyone verify this, and possibly have any interior picures or see if we can contact the owners to get the chance to see the interior?
If someone could help me get into contacts. I called the Lee beauty supply, and the woman said she doesn’t know what I am talking about, I also then said a fomer theater, she said no, and that they were in the comerica band building. Tax address lookup shwos the comerica bank building is 9201 – 9207 GRAND RIVER W.
I entered the address on terra server, the theater could still be intact, the building looks unchanged:Link
Anyone have any ideas?

This striking 1936 color sketch might be pure fantasy. It doesn’t seem to match any of the four Rainbo theatres currently listed at this website: boxofficemagazine
