My father was Joe Pusillo and was the projectionist at the Ritz for many years. The older gent refered to as Hitchcock was the owner. My dad used to tell me many stories about the Ritz. My dad worked there from the end of WWII till its closing around 1967. After this theatre closed, he went to work at the State in Woodbridge, until it closed in late 1971. He would return to Carteret as a projectionist in 1972 to open the brand new Jerry Lewis Twin Cinema.
