The Ritz Theater (now known as the Ritz Theater and Conference Center) is actually at 125 Commerce Street. Web site is http://www.theritzwestpoint.info/

The Ritz absolutely did not end operation in the mid fifties! James Miller Scott operated it in the early 80s and built a new theatre in West Point which, according to this website, never existed!
The cinema that Scott built in the early-1980s is called the Village Cinema. I cannot find any information about it for now, but I hope someone can explain some info about it.
