Originally had a 400 car capacity with a 40'x 55' screen, at its then projected opening, as of May 10, 1949, per page 6 of the below 2009 Hardin County Historical pdf link.
It was managed by Robert Enoch who also managed the other theatres in town for Elizabethtown Amusement Company since 1945, and for the next 36 years.
(I added a CT page for the Ritz/former Masonic Theatre today.)
Other than the projection booth, there are only like 2 interior photos of stairwells in the gallery. None of the auditorium.
Which is something even a former usher complained about in past comments a few years back.
