Open since at least 10/13/1927 when a Wurlitzer organ (opus 1756) was installed. This theatre is listed as operating in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook, and was operated by Cinema Circuit Corp.
Any additional information on this theatre would be greatly appreciated.

I moved to a town near Lyndhurst in 1963. Sadly, my only contact with the Ritz was after it had closed. It was being used as a bathroom and plumbing supplies showroom.
There is a Wendy’s at 315, then a parking lot, then a florist at 319. The florist looks to be carved out of a private home. This theater may have been razed, if the address was 317 Ridge Road.
Hello, I have been to the Ritz Theatre numerous times. My sister & I went to Sat. mantinees in the 50’s and possibly early 60’s. I remember the organ and the newsreels and the cartoons at the beginning of the movies. I believe the admission was 25 cents. It was a landmark and was a sad day that it was torn down. I remember we would have an annual Halloween parade and we would end up in the Ritz theatre where they announced the winners of the costume contests. What fond memories. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures to share. Also, I remember my Mom & Aunts would go to a movie on Mon evenings and collect a dish/plate each Mon until they had a complete set. So funny how we remember those little things.
