A close-up, low-angle photograph of the word "RIALTO" in red neon letters. The glowing glass tubes follow the contours of dark, three-dimensional block letters. The vibrant red light illuminates the white-painted wooden ceiling in the background, creating a soft glow that contrasts with the sharp lines of the neon. The perspective makes the letters appear large and imposing, capturing the industrial and artistic details of the vintage sign.

A close-up, low-angle shot of a red neon sign that spells out "RIALTO" in all caps. The sign is mounted on a gray metal base. The glowing red light from the neon tubes reflects onto the white wooden-slat ceiling above. In the background below the sign, several framed black-and-white historical photographs of a theater and a city street from 1933 are partially visible. The overall mood is warm, retro, and cinematic.

Digital art depicting the historic Fox Theatre on Peachtree Street in Atlanta Georgia. It's seen in a vertical format from across the street with leafy green street trees framing the red FOX sign that hangs above the entrance.

Digital art showing the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of the Hollywood Theatre in Portland Oregon towering above the street at night. The sign is glowing and rain is falling as people with umbrellas move about. All reflecting in the wet pavement.

Cheers to someone in Washington state for choosing one of my prints of the Hollywood Theatre in Portland. 💙

The @amcinematheque.bsky.social's Egyptian Theatre is one of my favorite in the city - so beautiful! (Although I do miss the balcony)

A pleasure to see a film I'd never seen before on gorgeous 70mm film!

Looking up at the ceiling of the ornate lobby of the theater. You can also see part of the ceiling of the 2nd floor lobby. The grand faux marble columns have been partially stripped of the marble "Paint" as part of the restoration.

Wide shot of the ceiling for context. It still shows movies on occasion. Only 3 of the 5 Wonder Theaters are open in any fashion.
