Also, the chain should be unknown, and not AMC Theaters.

I agree, but Blazer Tag is also what you see when you google the address, map-wise.

This one is at 1701 W. Ben White. Are there a bunch of laser tag places on this street?

There is also a clothing store at this address. The dance studio is 217 ½ N. Parkerson, which may be upstairs or a different part of the building. Retail should be added as a function.

This 1938 life photo shows the Ritz in Chattanooga, I believe. Although the caption is Rossville, GA, the photo is part of a series taken in Chattanooga in November 1938, during an appearance by President Roosevelt.

No, that was the other ad. This one was for a firm that did interior design on a number of theaters.

Here is part of a 6/30/68 article from the Daily Herald:

Addison’s newest outdoor theater, the Ski-Hi Drive-in on Rt. 53 two blocks north of North Avenue, opened Friday. The theater lot accommodates 2,200 cars on 25 blacktopped acres in a complex that cost more than $1 5 million. It is the only blacktopped theater in the Chicago metropolitan area.

The theater will show two completely independent programs on each screen every week The self-service refreshment stand is air-conditioned Built by the L Robert Jelmek family, the theater will be managed by the M & R Corp , as is the Jehnek’s Dundale Theater in Dundee. The Jelmek family pioneered in the drive-in theater business when they built the original Ski Hi Drive-In theater in Elmhurst 20 years ago. The original theater was taken by the state for highway purposes.

It says “Newly Remodeled and Embellished”. They must have done some work on the theater at that time. Here is an April 1967 ad from the Lima News:
