Ritz Theatre

The Barton Theatre was opened by 1920. By 1940 it had been renamed Ritz Theatre. It was still open in 1952, but had closed by 1955. Following comes courtesy of roadsideoklahoma link, "This theater, though now gone, still displays its name in the building’s capstone. The building’s rather plain façade is broken by Purple Cow’s very lavender sign. Otherwise the building appears to be in excellent condition."

To accompany the silent movies, R. Lewis Barton bought a Reproduco organ for the Barton Theatre sometime between 1920 and 1926.
