Brantley’s first movie theater was opened in 1928 by Z. D. Studstill of Andalusia. The March 31, 1928 issue of Motion Picture News that told of the event didn’t give the theater’s name, and said that it had 300 seats. However, Brantley is not listed in FDY until 1931, when the 200-seat Royal Theater first appears. I wonder if the Ritz was the Royal reopened under a new name?
