If one views this .pdf and scrolls down to pages 43-45 using the page counter at the bottom (not the table of contents], there will be dound three pages about the Ritz, some pictures of the building in its current state, and recommendations for its renovation.

Just added three images of the Ritz Theatre made on 3-10-2014 while on a history tour with Glenn Chavis, a beloved historian and writer in the High Point Community. High Point University students have worked with Glenn and others in the community to help fill in historical records of the Washington Drive neighborhood along with Professor Paul Ringel.
