At the beginning of the 20th century something amazing was just in its infancy stage. Something that would change the way people would spend their leisure time for decades to come. Motion pictures. The movies. Silent at first, then with sound. Accompanied by orchestras or organs. Some with live performances during intermissions and in between. The movies celebrated the good times and let people forget about the hard times. Everybody loved the movies.
By the 1930’s, 19 million people were going to the movies every week. Actor, Charlie Chaplin was earning $1 million dollars a year, which was unheard of in those days. The movies were becoming big business. As the movie business grew, so did the places we went to see them. The grand movie palaces. These large, grand theaters built in “magnificent excess” were designed to gain a competitive edge. It was a time when where we went to the movies was as important as the movies themselves. The Ritz Theatre was constructed in 1928 in this model.

Join us at The Ritz to see classic, award-winning films the way they were meant to be seen in a theatre that was built with them in mind! Call the box office one week before each screening, or check our web site to find out what marvelous experience we have in store for you! All seats only $3
