“Chained” with Clark Gable and Joan Crawford was playing at the Ritz September 23rd to 25th, 1934.
Here is a picture of the former Ritz Theatre that I took in October 2010.
I was stuck at the Monroe Street/Park Avenue light today and I just so happened to recognize this building from the photographs. The address should be changed to 108 S. Monroe Street.
The Ritz Theatre, Tallahassee is listed in the Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 with a seating capacity of 400. Same details are given in the F.D.Y, 1943 but with the information that it was being operated by Paramount Pictures Inc, under their subsidairy E. J. Sparks. In the 1950 F.D.Y. the seating capacity was 422.
Yes, lostmemory, it does become confusing trying to research theaters with a common name.
Here are photos of the Ritz in Tallahasee:
