The actual opening date is March 21, 1928 with William Haines in “West Point” along with a few unnamed short subjects and a Wurlitzer Organ performance by Sterling Grabin. Glen Carver was the original manager.
Sign and marquee gone, building is vacant.
A. J. Weaver announced the new theatre in 1925 as Falls City new courthouse and new Hotel Weaver were completed. The two-story brick and reinforced concrete theatre cost $75,000 for Blaine Cook’s Cook Theatre Circuit. It was one of two Rivoli Theatres for the Circuit scheduled to open in 1926 along with the Beatrice location. During construction, George Monroe took over the Cook Circuit and the Rivoli launched in 1927.
The Rivoli Theatre dates back to at least 1927 when it seated 675. The building is still standing minus the marquee and vertical, but vacant.
