I guess no one at loopnet remembers vaudeville. They probably thought it was some kind of architectural style.
Phone number listed above is inactive and i found this real estate link (not sure if it’s still valid):

“Historic Rialto Theater is now on the market. Once a 1927 Art Deco Vaulderville theater and now a modern first run movie theater that has been completely remodeled with the help of grant monies from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. Rare opportunity to own a historic building in revitalized downtown Winslow and make a good profit, room for additional income streams with separate rentable/useable space for ice cream shop, stage shows and club acts. Home of the Winslow Film Festival, held in October for four days. This property is priced to sell under current market conditions.
Take Route 66 going east to Kinsley and turn right"

This is a nice close-up view.
I plan on doing a special on Winslow and the “Winslow Theatre” is part of that. I know a former worker that was there for a few years back in the 70s. He would have good insight on it I think. I remember him telling me of the history of that place. Right now I am looking for an old picture of the old “Rialto” marquis. I want it to re-create what was there accurately to be used on film.
It really is truly a fascinating building. There are dressing rooms below the sitting area from what I was told. Im not sure how much was destroyed by the fire of the 50’s. I hope they have some character left from the early days.
Anyway, I will produce this and I hope to get this on a national syndicated network.

If you call the phone number at the top of this page, you will receive a recording saying that “Marley & Me” is playing at the Winslow this weekend and admission is $6.00.
Did the theater close? The employee wrote here that it would be closing in January 2008. It’s still listed as open on this page, though, so wondering if there’s an update.
Another photo is here.
It’s Winslow Theater with an “ER”.
that is to bad!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE BUY HIS PLACE!!11
That’s too bad. It looked like a nice location when I was there last year.
I am currently working at this theater and sadly the news is we are closing this January. We have people who love to come, who come weekly actually, but Mr. Afeldt says we are not making enough. It makes me happy to know that people are still intrested in this old theater and im glad to know im not working day after day in vain. Thank You!
Movies….I’ve never been to Winslow. I just found the photo on the internet.
lost did you go to winslow recently……….
This is a recent photo of the Winslow Theater.
they get good first run pics ……..
PS – What ever happened to the Winslow Film Festival?
I am interested in moving to AZ very soon and would like someone to give me some more info on this theater. Would it be economically feasible to own this theater? Is it making any money? Does anyone know why it is for sale? It looks nice. Is there enough people to support this theater? Someone please let me know. Thanks!
Here is a July 2006 photo:
