The Theatorium was opened by 1914. By March 1919 it had been renamed Teatro which closed in the early-1930’s. It reopened as the Rialto Theatre on December 25, 1933. In 1939 the adjacent retail space at 1026 Noble Street was opened as the Cameo Theatre (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
The Rialto Theatre was closed around 1939, around the same time as the adjacent Cameo Theatre opened. The Rialto Theatre became a Woolworth’s store. Today in 2024 the ground floor of the building is in retail use as a flower shop.

The Rialto listed in FDY’s in the 1940s and 1950s is either a mistake or was at a different location. This photo of the Cameo looks to have been taken around 1940 (judging from the cars, as the titles on the Cameo marquee aren’t clear enough for my eyes) and the Woolworth store had already taken over the space formerly occupied by the Rialto and its neighbor to the south. A page from the Anniston Photo Archives says that the Woolworth store moved to this location ca.1939, so the Rialto had to have been gone by then.
