There is Dubonnet red and then there is Dubonnet white. It depends if your having fish or meat. Of course, the old standby Ripple from E & J Gallo goes with anything. Ripple is best when stored in a brown paper bag and served warm or cold. LOL
I’m not positive but I think dubonnet is a shade of red. Something like burgundy I would guess.
Dubonnet is an aperitif wine. It’s not intended for drinking with meals. You would have it as a cocktail, either straight or mixed with something stronger like gin or vodka. Dubonnet Rouge is somewhat sweeter than Dubonnet Blanc. Most Dubonnet sold in the USA is now manufactured here. Imported French Dubonnet can also be found here in some stores, but under the name St. Raphael, as the French company sold its right to use the Dubonnet name in the USA.
Wow. Now I know what the interior of the Pix looked like AND what it tasted like!!! Thanks for the entertaining commentary, guys.
It did come to a sad end…but I can recall countless trips there in the mid & late 1950s to catch all the Joan Crawford films of the 40s, along with other Warner winners.
Rialto East and Rialto III should be added as AKA names here.
In 1968, the Pix Theatre was immortalized by photo realist Richard Estes in an acrilyic painting called “Hot Girls.” I don’t know if the movie titles shown were actual or imagined: View link
“Hot Girls For Men Only” was a 1968 British film.
Great image, Warren. Theatre status should be “closed/demolished” as the site was incorporated into the new Bank of America office tower.
Enrolling with this link.
If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!
