Today, the Rialto celebrates years of applause - your applause - for the vision and restoration efforts by Dorothy Mavrich and countless others, for the arts and entertainment that enrich our daily lives, and for the Rialto - The Jewel of Joliet.

The Majestic Barton Grande

The pride of the Rialto is its original "golden voiced" Barton Grande Theatre Pipe Organ. During the 1920s, it accompanied silent movies and vaudeville with its variety of sounds and sound effects. Today, it continues to be a popular attraction as well as a historic treasure. The Joliet Area Theatre Organ Enthusiasts have provided its care and maintenance as a labor of love since 1972.
