Smithey and Schults launched the Rialto in an existing downtown Hammon, Oklahoma building in 1924 with Simplex Mazda projection equipment. The theater made the transition to sound to remain viable. It continued under new ownership in 1937 after a brief closure to refresh the venue.
This is a modern view of Main Street, Hammon. Pan left to get a good look at that first building that looks like a former theatre. It has a recessed entranceway, and theatre style exit doors on the alley. What do you think? View link
