A centennial history of Litchfield published in 1953 has this paragraph: “In 1938 the Frisina Amusement Company built the Ritz Theatre, a 400 seat house on State Street. It has been the policy of the Ritz Theatre to run only the finest in motion pictures, each picture playing a week’s engagement.”
The history has very little about Litchfield’s movie houses, mentioning only the Capitol, the Ritz, the Sky View Drive-In, and a Nickelodeon theater that once operated at the corner of Ryder and Madison. That intersection also hosted Snell’s Opera House, a large venue that burned in 1924.
