Thanks so much to James Honecut for his most descriptive, nostalgic, and accurate word picture of the Ritz (but posted on the Roxy Theatre page). I remember all the people he mentioned (as well as James). One minor corretion: the manager of the Ritz, Roxy, and Starvue Drive-in from Mr. Mac’s death until Mrs. Mac passed away (when all their theatres were sold to the Malco chain) was Audreanel Freeman, my grandmother. Yes, indeed, she did cut quite a figure with that cigarette holder and jet black hair.
