Opened on June 12, 1950 with Abbott and Costello in “Hold That Ghost” along with three unnamed cartoons. Both the screen and the projection booth were located 360 feet apart.
This was originally operated by Blumenfeld until Pacific Theatres took it all over in 1976. Pacific operated the theater until November 13, 2001 when Century Theatres took it over, and was followed by Cinemark in 2006. It received brief closure in 2023 before reopening on May 20, 2024.
The newer Capitol Theatre actually opened in May 1977 by owner Shorty Brown, who also operated the older Capitol until that theater’s closure. The entrance lobby of that theater was saved and the entrance hall was moved to the Old Town building in June 1978.
New owners took over the theater in 1995. The reason why the website says “established in 1995” is because of new owners, not when the theater opened. It was scheduled to close on March 31, 2026.

Later operated by (just simply) Armstrong Circuit.
