The KS Historical Society entry on this building makes no mention of a New Isis. The description here makes it sound like it was known as New Isis after it closed? Anyway, it was remodeled again to turn it into the Rialto. An outside ticket booth was added, and some improvements were made inside.

The building itself dates to 1917. It was originally a bakery, and the upper stories were a rooming house. The ‘Modern Rooms’ script is still visible in the second floor windows. The J.C. Penney tenure was very brief, as their larger location next door was remodeled.
