The Ritz Theatre was opened in 1929 and operated through to beyond 1950.
The former Ritz Theatre reopened on November 1, 2007 after extensive renovations. Quentin Tarantino was on hand for its debut as the newest star in the Alamo Drafthouse circuit.

The Ritz Theater first opened in 1929. This is a vintage interior view. Caption reads: Crowd waits for showtime, circa 1932 (pre-expansion).
Here is a blog about the opening dated 10/29/07:

On March 30th and 31st, the Ritz theater will present An Audience of One, a hilarious, yet chilling documentary from Mike Jacobs. It looks into the life of a pentacostal minister and his dreams of making a big budget multi-million dollar film. It’s an amazing look into faith and how far it can drive people, and is worth watching.
There is a very good wiki page about the Ritz.
