Description
Address : 616 S . Fourth Street (Demolished , 1969) . This is the grand staircase to the promenade of the Rialto Theatre . The staircase appears to be made of marble with tile flooring . Modeled on the Capitol Theater in New York City , only the best of materials were used in Louisville's "Million Dollar Movie House " and they were incorporated into designs intended to dazzle . Crystal chandeliers and brass torchères adorned the lobby , where a white marble stairway led to an upper level promenade whose walls were hung with blue silk damask , arabesqued in gold . The area was illuminated with eighteen-light candelabra . The portals on the left led to a balcony , which combined with the main level gave the theater a capacity of thirty-five hundred people . Handwritten on back : "Rialto Theater (?) ".
