The Rialto Theater is a former movie theater in Casper, Wyoming built in 1921. It was constructed with 800 seats by Henry Brennan, who had a successful Vaudeville house, on which he based the new cinema. He sold the building in 1922 to E.J. Schulte, a Schulte invested $50,000 in a remodeling project designed by Casper architects William Dubois and Leon Goodrich. The reopening featured the William C. deMille movie Nice People, a silent film that was accompanied by the Chicago Netto Ladies Orchestra. In 1928, the Rialto began to show talkies. The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
