Clinton Daily News, Feb. 18, 1954: “Sale of the Ritz Theater equipment to Video Independent Theaters, Inc., operators of the Redland, Del Rio and Clinton Drive-In Theaters, was announced today by Mrs. Myrtle Guthrie. Mrs. Guthrie will retain ownership of the Ritz Theater building and will lease it to the Video company. Effective date of the transfer will be March 1, but Mrs. Guthrie has agreed to continue for a few weeks as manager of the theater. All employes of the Ritz will retain their positions. Mrs. Guthrie and her late husband, C. W. Guthrie, operated the Ritz between 1925 and 1937. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Guthrie has been the sole owner and manager.”

According to the street view on google map, the Western Equipment Building is very attractive Spanish styling and still looks like a theatre. I really like those second story arched windows!
