The Ritz reopened as the Miracle Theater, a local stage production group, in October 1958. The last act for the successor theater, however, seems to have occurred in October or November 1960.

According to research completed on ‘Oklahoman Archives’ web pages, the RITZ Theater opened in 1929. Daily Oklahoman 1928 ads show a nice archetectural drawing of this house, as well as construction photos. It had an atmospheric auditorium with a Spainish interior and exterior. It closed in the mid 1950s, and was razed sometime there after.
