Festivities and screening were also held simultaneously at the Capitol Theatre, where “GWTW” started continuous performances the next day. The Astor was a two-a-day road show with reserved seats. The Capitol, which then had a reported seating capacity of 4,520, offered three continuous performances daily, with the last starting at 9:00 PM.
