Crowds braved the cold weather to line up for the film "Summer Bachelors" in early February of 1927. It was showing at the Rialto, 310 South 9th St. The movie starred Madge Bellamy, a stage and screen actress who had appeared in "Lorna Doone" and "The Iron Horse," the latter previously shown at the Rialto. Bunting decorated the theater building and also was strung across the street; the Broadway Theater at nearby 9th & Broadway had just celebrated its grand opening the night before. The First Baptist Church at 9th & Market Sts. is up the street from the Rialto. TPL-1892; G65.1-090; BU-11,229;
