I had a part time job working for Commonwealth in the 70s and 80s. I spent a lot of time managing the America. It’s a great building…a real theater. I remember lots of hours spent freezing in the lobby and box office. The offices and projection are up stairs along with what used to be dressing rooms when the theater was used for live theater. Great memories of the place and esp the people.
Commonwealth leased the Rialto and the America in the 70’s and possibly further back than that.
I worked part time at the Rialto as a manager for many years. It’s a great treasure. I’m glad it’s still around.
