The Ritz Theatre launched with a preview show on February 9, 1927 with Monte Blue in “Other Women’s Husbands” supported by a newsreel, a comedy short, a live vaudeville act. The actual Grand Opening was on February 13, 1927 with “Mile a Minute Morgan” starring Matty Mattison supported by a newsreel, a comedy short, a live vaudeville act. The Ritz was renamed as the Royal Theater on August 21, 1927 with the exploitation films, “Tell Me Why” and “The Naked Truth.” The Royal was a quick casualty not converting to sound.
