Paramount Pictures Inc. took over the Ritz in July 1941, but retained the Sparks branding.

I’m so pleased to find this thoroughly researched story on the Ritz Theatre. I lived in Fort Myers 1961-67 and visited the theatre once to see a live play named “Monique.” I remember the Ritz’s sign hung on First Street for many years after the movie theatre closed.
