The Ritz Theatre was opened in 1930. Like so many small town theatres the usual 3 or 4 different films a week like this one on August 6 and 7 1959:"The H-Man" and "The Women Eaters" & quot;Last Train From Gun Hil" would follow, thank goodness. It was closed on January 17, 1979 with Rick Guinn in “Buffalo Rider”.

The building went into a state of disrepair. It was gutted back to the bare brick walls and the roof & ceiling were removed. It reopened in 2015 as a banquet hall name Ritz Center.

Hopefully some CT members in the Carolinas can flesh this theatre out a bit more from what i was able to do.
