The Rivoli Theater, which stood on Union Street between Keyes Avenue and Baker Avenue, was opened on December 29, 1926 with Reginald Denny in “Take It from Me” & Lupino Lane in “Movie Land”. It was equipped with a theatre organ. It closed around 1950. This theater is listed as open in the 1945 Film Daily Yearbook with seating for 590. The Rivoli Theater was converted to retail and office space in 1951. It is now a karate studio.
