The Ritz Theatre In Hinton Opened On September 2, 1929 With “The Fall Of Eve” Starring Patsy Ruth Miller And Ford Sterling (Including Arthur Rankin Of Course), A Columbia Film, Followed By A Mack Sennett Comedy “The Bride’s Relations” Starring Johnny Burke, Thelma Hill And Clyde Eddie Gribbon. The Grand Opening Ads Consider Every Company A Question “What Caused The Fall Of Eve?” As The Companies Across The City Had Made Their Own Answers. For Example: “Because Adam Didn’t Have A New Chevrolet For Her Bowling-Haynes Motor Co.” Or “Probably Because Adam Did Not Furnish Her With A Buick Or RCA Radio For Sale By Summers Motor Co.”

On July 18, 1932, The Theatre Is Completely Remodeled With Western Electric Sound System And An Air Conditioner. A Gala Re-Opening Was Held With A Showing Of “The Crowd Roars”, A Warner Bros. Film.
