Rialto, The. The name, taken from a famous district in Venice, seems to have caught hold as an expression denoting New York's theatre district in the 1870s when the principal theatres were located between Union Square and Madison Square. It remained a common term well into the 20th century. One newspaper had a regular Sunday section called “News and Gossip of the Rialto.” The expression was rarely applied after the 1950s.
