The Ridglea Theatre, a single-screen movie house in Fort Worth, Texas, opened in December 1950 under the Interstate theater chain, debuting *Pretty Baby* as its inaugural film. The building is distinguished by its Mission Revival architecture, particularly its striking 70-foot stone tower and Spanish Revival facade. After changing ownership several times—including acquisition by a Dallas investment company in 1990 for $1.85 million and purchase by the Maulsby trust in 1991—the theater underwent extensive multimillion-dollar renovation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 2011.
