According to research completed on ‘Oklahoman Archives’ web pages, the RITZ Theater opened in 1929. Daily Oklahoman 1928 ads show a nice archetectural drawing of this house, as well as construction photos. It had an atmospheric auditorium with a Spainish interior and exterior. It closed in the mid 1950s, and was razed sometime there after.
Above mentioned Oklahoman Archive images are listed below-
Architecural drawing of exterior-March 18, 1928.
Construction photo- December 11, 1928.

A Robert-Morton theater organ size 2/8 was installed in the Ritz Theater in 1928.
The Ritz reopened as the Miracle Theater, a local stage production group, in October 1958. The last act for the successor theater, however, seems to have occurred in October or November 1960.
