This opened on September 24th, 1896. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Prior to being revamped into the Capitol, this operated as a cinema under the name of Hancock (with original Opera House dropped). See ad in photo section.
Louis Novy was a partner of Interstate Theaters in the Paramount Theatre in Austin!
