The Colfax Gazette of August 8, 1908 mentioned “The New Ridgeway Theatre Company.” A page about Spokane architect George Herbert Keith attributes the design of the Ridgway Theatre to him, listing it as a 1908 project. As the theater company apparently wasn’t formed until August, it might be that the Ridgeway didn’t open until 1909. The Ridgeway was one of three theaters listed at Colfax in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, along with the Bungalow and the Pastime.
