"The Rio"
By Larry Grossman - RetroVisions

Built in 1949 in Santa Cruz California, The Rio featured a state-of-the-art "Cycloramic" screen, which supposedly created an illusion of 3-D with any film shown! In the scene I've depicted, the 1948 film "Key Largo", starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall is on a double bill with the 1947 film "The Lady from Shanghai", starring Rita Hayworth. (Ps. That's my girlfriend Sue and I walking the dog past a 1949 Nash Ambassador) -- L.G.
