The Scenic Theatre was launched at this address in 1910. It became the Ritz Theatre. Warners took on the Ritz on a 20-year lease on April 21, 1938 with “Snow White.” The theatre was demolished in December of 1957.

Image added courtesy Tammy Markel Poff‎. Presumably just before demolition, as the marquee is advertising the Strand & Capitol.
