This was the only movie theatre within Craven County that catered to African-Americans. The seating capacity is 400.
The Ritz Theatre was operating from at least 1949 until 1955, and beyond.

The 300 seat Palace on Broad St. was also an African American Theatre, operated by Bailey Theatres.
Anyone know the address, have more info or photos?
Could this theatre be the building on Queen Street later used by the African-American Shriners? Their lodge was on Queen Street between Broad Street and Pollock Street, and looked like a converted movie house.
