The first ideas for a movie theatre in the city of West Point took place on April 14, 1930 with Nancy Carroll in “Honey”. It was named the City Auditorium Theatre. It was renamed Riviera Theatre on November 4th, 1935 with Jack Benny, Ted Healy and Grant Mitchell (just to name a few) in “It’s In The Air” (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film); and was owned and operated by Al-Dun Amusement. Its closing date is unknown at this time, but still in operation in 1957.
