Rio Theatre

The RIO never seemed to reach the status of her sister up the street, the DEL MAR. It was sort of seedy and we kids called it the flea bag. I would have gone there from 1948-1953 and usually to a Saturday matinee where for 20 cents you got two feature films, usually “B” westerns, a serial (one was ROCKET MAN as I recall), the news and at least 10 cartoons.
