The sign with the theater name was destroyed in a strong windstorm and has never been replaced. Since this is the only theater in a small town it was probably a cost-saving measure to never replace it.

From the Cinema Treasures web site:

The Art Moderne style Ritz Theatre on Main Street in Stafford is shown in the 1945 Film Daily Yearbook as open with seating for 400.

Since the early-1990’s, the theatre has been undergoing various restoration projects, including new projectors, heating and air-conditioning, and a roll-up screen to allow for live entertainment on stage. The Ritz Theatre presents first-run movies on the first and fourth weekends of the month as well as Sunday matinees.
