Reopened as Rialto on September 4th, 1932. Grand opening ad posted.
This theatre was across Monroe from the DeVos Performance Center, near where the Calder Plaza Building is now.
Re: my previous post. My bad. The fans are waiting in line at the Orpheum Theatre, 322-326 Monroe NW. The Rialto, at 314 Monroe NW, is in the picture though, on the far right side of the picture and on the other side of Quaker Lunch.
Eat your heart out NASCAR fans. GR Public Museum pictures of fans waiting in line to see Ralph DePalma at the Superba/Rialto Theatre.

The Superba Theatre is also listed in the 1916 city directory, at the same address.
The 1922 Grand Rapids City Directory lists a theater called the Superba at 314 Monroe Avenue.
