Hi, I don’t believe the Ritz closed in 1955. I was in the Ritz circa 1967 when the ceiling collapsed. There were about 50 people watching Dr No in the afternoon. I believe it was in the fall and there was a parade outside at the time. It was thought the vibrations from the parade contributed to the collapse. No one died. If anyone knows anything of this, please leave a comment. I was trying to find the date. But don’t tell anyone- I was skipping school that day!
