According to a 2008 story in the El Dorado News Times, “Star Theaters had rented the theater for showing movies, but early in the fall the closed sign went up and did not come down”.
LM, if the Rialto is still open it is no longer part of the Stars, they don’t list it on their web site.
This is another 1984 photo.

Here is an October 2008 photo. It still doesn’t look open to me.
Very interesting. The description above should mention that there was a previous Rialto Theater at this location that operated from 1921-1928 and was demolished and replaced by this Rialto Theater.
I can’t find any current showtimes, but that’s not always definitive.
If you scroll about a quarter of the way down, there is an interesting treatise on the Rialto and some other El Dorado theaters here. It’s the first article in Volume 2 of the journal.

A more recent photo can be seen here. Is this theater still open? The sign below the marquee appears to read “I’m haunted but you know that”.

I think that actually makes sense.
The address is 113 E. Cedar Street, there are three screens, and this is the Stars Theaters website.
If I rest, then I have to work. This is my excuse not to work. Don’t interfere.
Thats the same http://www.arkansas.com/ link you posted May 27, 2006, only this is a direct link to the photo. Take a rest.
There is another photo of the theater on this page:
