THE RIALTO OPENS SOON

A new theater, the Rialto, will open its doors to the theater- going public of New Britain soon. The house itself is the last word in all that a fine playhouse should be, most of it's appointments being nothing less than superb. Some of the casts foremost architects with years of experience in building sbeautiful buildings. both public and private, were employed in the de- signing of the Rialto and the result is more than pleasing. The attrac tive facade of the building gives one only faint idea of the lavish sur roundings inside. No detail, no matter how small, which would add to the comfort or enjoyment of the average motion picture enthusiast has been neglected and this city may well be proud of this cozy playhouse. While the Rialto is in- tended primarily as motion pie ture theatcr there will be vaudeville and novelty features offered once or twice week. David Wienstock a well known figure in theatrical circles will. in all probability as sume the management, which fact should insure some first class at fractions for the Rialto. It is plan- ned to seat about 1000 which might be considered a rather small capa- city by many. However, when the plans were being draWn it was sug- gestcd that the owners abide by the old adage of good things come in small packages and so while the theater edifice is not immense in size it is nevertheless a model one in every respect. The major work on the building has been completed and only few minor details await com pletion, the formal opening will take place Wednesday evening, December the tWenty-ninth.
