The Ritz Thetare was located on the corner of Avenue A and 17th Street about five blocks south of Broadway Street. It opened in 1945 from all that I can find on the theatre and closed in 1955. It was a single screen theatre operated by Lubbock Threatres, Inc.

The Ritz Theatre was listed as seating around 250 people.
The Ritz is listed in Eric Ledell Smith’s book African American Theater Buildings: An Illustrated Historical Directory. It’s possible that the Ritz was the successor to a theater built in 1929 at Avenue A and 19th Street. The item about its construction in the August 13, 1929 Lubbock Morning Avalanche didn’t give the name of that house.
