Capitol Theatre

“After 44 years of entertaining Haligonians, the Capitol Theatre had its final curtain call. It did not go down without a fight, however. Haligonians wrote letters to the editors of local newspapers describing their frustrations over the loss of their beloved theatre. The “Save the Capitol Society” was created in an attempt to preserve the building, but to no avail. For its final send-off, the Capitol showed the movie Super Dad and then closed its castle doors for the last time. The theatre was demolished in 1974 to make way for the Maritime Centre. Now all that remains of the Capitol Theatre are a handful of images and fading memories.”
