This was a small neighborhood theater, part of the Foy’s Neighborhood Theater chain which opened November 6, 1919 as the Rialto Theatre in a trolley-stop neighborhood center at 7th street and Bishop Avenue in Dallas' suburb of Oak Cliff.
Foy’s was a chain of small neighborhood theaters, all at trolley-stop corners in Dallas. They included the Columbia Theater, Ideal Theater, and Colonial Theater.
The theater later was bought by the Robb-Rowley Chain in Dallas, then closed in 1947.

Do you still have seats for sale? I need approximately 40 for my martial arts studio.

The map location is incorrect. The theater was on Bishop Ave. NOT Bishop Grauman. It’s in the Bishop Arts District.
Somewhere around 1933 this was known as the Bishop Avenue Theatre. After a remodel in 1934 was renamed the Astor. Listing should have AKA’s of Bishop Avenue and Rialto.
