The Ritz Theatre In Hinton Opened On September 2, 1929 With “The Fall Of Eve” Starring Patsy Ruth Miller And Ford Sterling (Including Arthur Rankin Of Course), A Columbia Film, Followed By A Mack Sennett Comedy “The Bride’s Relations” Starring Johnny Burke, Thelma Hill And Clyde Eddie Gribbon. The Grand Opening Ads Consider Every Company A Question “What Caused The Fall Of Eve?” As The Companies Across The City Had Made Their Own Answers. For Example: “Because Adam Didn’t Have A New Chevrolet For Her Bowling-Haynes Motor Co.” Or “Probably Because Adam Did Not Furnish Her With A Buick Or RCA Radio For Sale By Summers Motor Co.”

On July 18, 1932, The Theatre Is Completely Remodeled With Western Electric Sound System And An Air Conditioner. A Gala Re-Opening Was Held With A Showing Of “The Crowd Roars”, A Warner Bros. Film.

This Theater Is Ultra Hard To Find Information From. The Mount Olive Might Have Been Closed By 1961, I Can Find A Tiny Bit Of Information About The Conditions, Etc.

50sSNIPES commented about Astro Drive-In on Jan 5, 2021 at 7:22 pm

I Feel Very Guilty On Some Photos I’ve Seen Throughout The Past 3 Years, Hoping The Photo Of A Movie That Featured A Few Scenes, One With The Man Facing The Opposite Direction To Where The Screen Faces Which Was Playing NSS’s On-The-Spot (1964) (Or Some People Called It A Jay Ward Flick-O As I Sometimes Call It), And Another Scene Featuring A Unknown Woody Woodpecker Cartoon (The One With The White Wood Title Card Background From The 1960’s, Not The Brown One From The Early 1970’s). I Darnly Forgot What That Film Is Called Anyway.

These Photos I’ve Discovered Belongs To The Astro, And Yes There Are Several Ones I Have To Look Over With Since It’s A Very Big Hotspot For Films Back Then.

Also, During It’s Successful Triplex Run, The Leader-Telegram Of Eau Claire Placed Showings Together Along With The Downtown 1 & 2. Being Separated, It Was Narrated As “Downtown 5”. Despite Being Separated In Downtown Areas, It Is Blocks Ahead.
