DavidZornig commented about Liberty Theater on Dec 22, 2018 at 9:20 am

The Liberty Theater would have been in the even numbered 200 block of N. Main Street, given the Texas Theater also pictured located across the street at 217 N. Main Street. Which should also be added to Nearby Theaters and vice versa.

DavidZornig commented about Ritz Theater on Dec 22, 2018 at 9:03 am

Circa 1957 image added courtesy of Route 66 Postcards Facebook page. The white building on the corner down the street on the left, is the former Ritz Theater which we know closed in 1956. There is a `57 Plymouth at the curb, so likely about when it was being converted into a restaurant. The marquee and blade sign are already gone, but a replica blade sign was added years later according to previously posted photos.

Print ad image added via David Grady.
The film “Smoky” was originally released June 26, 1946.
So given the one day showing in May, it was likely during a re-release a few years later.

The Grand Opening ad must be from a reopening after a remodel. As I just added two 1958 photos from a former usher who lived on Thayer and walked to work.

Chronological history with both Lyric & Gaither owner’s & projectionist’s names, 1990/1991 fire, so not demolished in the `70s as written.
