Welcome back to our “Downtown Decoded: The Amazing History of our beloved DTLA Theater District” series. This month we celebrate the Rialto Theater, who recently turned 117 years old! "Quinn’s Rialto" The Rialto Theater was known by a few names throughout its existence, but it was born "Quinn’s Rialto" on May 21, 1917, after its owner, John A. Quinn (also known for his involvement with the Superba and Garrick theaters). Its first major screening was the first of three film adaptations of Robert Hichens’ 1904 novel, “The Garden of Allah”.
