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 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.
