Motion Picture Herald, April 24, 1954: “Jay Higgins, present exhibitor at Ansley, has purchased the Rialto at Arnold from Ulysses A. Brown. He plans to move to Arnold and open May 15.”
The Wehrley Theatre opened July 29, 1926 with Betty Compton in “The Pony Express” and a capacity crowd. Trouble was ahead when there was an unpaid note for the theater’s 1930 transition to BesTone Sound. The theatre relaunched under new management as the Rialto Theatre on July 29, 1933 with Lee Tracy in “Blessed Event.” The theatre switched to widescreen presentations in 1954 becoming the Arnold Theatre on November 27, 1954 with “The Mad Magician.” It reopened with volunteers at Arnold’s Rialto Theatre on April 10, 2010 with sub-run discount films. It later switched to digital projection and first-run films in its mix.
