rivest266 commented about E.M. Loew's Capitol Theatre on Jun 6, 2024 at 3:28 pm

The Mayflower theatre ceased operations in 1921. However, it was given a new lease of life when it reopened on September 4th, 1923, this time under the name Capitol. Unfortunately, its newspaper advertisements came to an end in 1933. But the story doesn’t end there! In a remarkable twist, the theater was revived once more on August 30th, 1946, thanks to the efforts of E. M. Loews. ads posted.
