NEW Resurrect the Rialto by John Gilbert

John Gilbert Reports "The Resurrect the Rialto"
35 long years have passed since John ran the last reel of film at the Rialto Theater located just two doors down from the Bradley Theater on Broadway in Columbus, GA. On Feb. 17th 2009, 35 years later, John fired up his Super Simplex and ran another reel. For the length of one reel the Rialto was alive again. Alive but wounded from years of neglect.

Now the transformation begins. Follow John Gilbert and new owner Reynolds Bickerstaff as the Rialto comes to life to play an important role once again in Columbus, GA.

Strangely the Bradley played a part in how John became involved in the Rialto Project. Begin Reports
