The Ritz Theatre opened in 1930 with seating listed at 840 seats. This theatre was operated by Georgia Theatre Co.
The theatre closed in the mid to late-1950’s. The building now houses the Hummingbird Stage & Tap Room. Any further information on the Ritz Theatre would be appreciated.

I live in Macon, but grew up in Augusta so not real familar with the old movie houses here. My best recollection from visiting here back then was that it ended up as a b movie grind house before closing due to tv onslaught. Other downtown houses were Bibb, Capitol(now a bar/concert hall), and Grand(now the Grand Opera House) which has plays and concerts.
Actually the Ritz was located at 438 Cherry Street which is across the alley from the Hummingbird (formerly The Macon Billiard Academy) Theater Macon now occupies the spot where the Ritz was located, renovated years ago.
