The interior of Auditorium 8, the largest in Park Lane, seating 353 and featuring a massive constant-height screen that’s at least 60 feet wide.

Before being renovated with stadium seating in 2005, this auditorium had seating for 522. It originally had 70mm projection capability, and as each auditorium in Park Lane had a unique name, was named “Paradise.”

It was renamed “Capitol” a year later, due to the efforts of Halifax’s mayor Ron Wallace, who had worked as an usher at that iconic Halifax theatre, which was demolished in 1974.

Sorry for the less-than-ideal image quality.
