James C. Ritter’s obituary in the December 1, 1951, issue of The Billboard said that he was one of the organizers and an officer of the Co-Operative Theatres of Michigan.
My grandfather, James Clifford Ritter, built the Rivola theater. My Uncle Delno Ritter took over operation of the theater. Ritter also owned the Rialto theater and earlier the Boulevard and Russell.
Rialto owner James C. Ritter announced that the Rivola would be built in 1920. The $150,000 Rivola was constructed in 1921 and would launch on January 1, 1922. Advertisements run regularly and cease on May 17, 1959 likely ending the Rivola’s run.
