The Ritz Theatre was opened by Isadore Brotman on November 3, 1935 with Dolores del Rio in “In Caliente”. It was closed on February 19, 1942 with Fred Astaire in “You’ll Never Get Rich”.
The following day Brotman opened a larger New Ritz Theatre across 14th Avenue (which has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
