I worked at the Rio Show when I was a kid, and don’t recall the quonses style. I remember vertical brick walls on the exterior, and a touch manager named Mr. DiCarlo.
I was an usher in the early 1960’s, when I had to fill the frozen ice crema vending machine.
“The Sound of Music” played the Rio, and the music is still in my head, aftere watching it for about 20 times.
The marquee was round, and one job I had was to change the show on Tuesday nights, ‘cause Wednesday is when the new show started.
The letters were metal…probably lead, and I’m sure toxic.
There was also a guy who worked there with me, Jimmy was his name…nad he was in today’s lexicon, a little person, but we called him a midget. He was much older than the rest of us, maybe in his 30’s. I wonder what happened to him.
