Sorry Ken. The Rialto was on Main Street. The cemeteries are several blocks west out Washington Ave. I still get down to P'ville regularly to visit family.
Specifically, the Rialto was south of Washington Ave, next to (south) of the Mainland Bank, which was on the corner of Main & Wash. The Carlton was north of Washington on the opposite side of Main St. The liquor store (which is still there) is a couple doors further north.
I went to the Carlton before it closed. They featured low-budget westerns, at least at the kids' matinees. At one point, probably early ‘50’s, they put up a sign saying they were closing for renovations, but never reopened. — There was also a Park Theater in Pleasantville on South Main Street near Frambes Ave, which was converted into a Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall.

Does anyone remember the name of the manager of the Rialto? I went throughout the ‘50’s as a kid, but can’t remember the guy’s name now.
