The Ritz is listed in Eric Ledell Smith’s book African American Theater Buildings: An Illustrated Historical Directory. It’s possible that the Ritz was the successor to a theater built in 1929 at Avenue A and 19th Street. The item about its construction in the August 13, 1929 Lubbock Morning Avalanche didn’t give the name of that house.
