LETTER TO EDITOR: Hinton Resident Praises Sound, New Management at Ritz Theatre
 
I took my six-year-old grandson to see “Cars.” I am 70 years old. I had been to the Ritz Theatre in Hinton before and the experience was anything but pleasant. The sound was terrible and the theatre dirty, popcorn stale. So since this was his first movie experience, I tossed in my mind whether to take him to see “Cars” in Beckley.
 
I am so pleased I did not. The new management at The Ritz is to be congratulated and praised for all they’ve done. The sound was perfect and the theatre clean and the entire experience was delightful.
 
I will certainly be back: I’ve sung the praises of The New Ritz here in Hinton House where I live.
 
It is great to have a real movie theatre in Hinton as there is so little for the folks to do The movies are first-run, up to date and now, with such good sound, it will be all the more enjoyable.
 
So thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep it up and don’t give up. God bless you!
