Overview
An old movie theatre at 517 E. Kirkwood Avenue, near the corner of Indiana Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue. Bought by the Kerasotes Theatres group in 1976, it was closed down in 2000. The Von Lee sits just off campus near the Sample Gates and is close to Peoples Park.
Currently, it is home to a restaurant called Noodles & Company. The current building at the location is not the original, but a copy.

History
It was originally called The Ritz when construction was completed in 1929. Renovated into a grocery store in 1930, it was called Peterson's Market. It was reopened as a theater and renamed in 1948 by the Vonderschmitt Family, and bought by Kerasotes in 1976.
