Here’s a video that chronicles the Rialto Theatre in Champaign, IL. The title is subjective but was also the theatre’s slogan after it was renovated in 1938. I did this for my old boss and very good friend, John Russell who turns 79 on the Fourth of July. The Russells owned and operated the theatre for most of its 70 year history.

I worked at the Rialto Theatre from 1969 till it was leased to Keresotes in 1978. I was in high school and college and managed the theatre the last three years it was operated independently by the Russell family. I have been in the industry for about 30 years with such companies as General Cinema, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures and Consolidated Theatres. I know the business and I know every inch of this theatre. I would love to see it ressurected as an art house!
Please post any additional information about this development as I would lover to follow any progress made.
