The Capitol Theatre launched September 15, 1919 with Wallace Reid in “Valley of the Giants.” The Capitol was equipped for sound ten years later to remain viable. Stanley Warner Circuit closed the venue after 30 years with “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Singing Guns” on July 6, 1950.

On original documents, the spelling is CAPITAL THEATRE. The building originally had five stories but has since been reduced to three. Also, the building now has a modern façade.
