I believe this may have originally been the Princess Theatre. I posted a 1930 photo of the Princess Theatre on 9th Street with the Acme Garage next door. Photo is part of the M.S. George Collection
Maybe the Ritz reopened for a while as the Roxy? The Kittanning Paper’s Historical Headlines column today included the following entry from Nov. 19, 1969:
Theater owner Rox Serrao of Ford City announced the scheduled reopening of the Roxy Theater, 9th Street, Ford City, and the continuing operation of his 66 Drive-in theater as long as weather permits. Serrao said the Roxy will offer “family pictures, special children’s pictures, and keeping up with the trend of changing entertainment, specially selected adult first-runs.” Days of operation will depend on patronage, the operator said.
