When word got out that the historic Bozeman Rialto Theater was once again coming to life after over a decade of sitting vacant, it started quite the buzz. During its heyday in the roaring twenties, the theater started with silent film, eventually bringing documentaries, feature films and classics to the mix. The Rialto was known as the “grittier”theater, in contrast to the much larger Ellen Theatre, across the street. Truth told, both theaters had their own niche and Bozeman was all the better for it.
