boytown commented about Capitol Theatre on Dec 10, 2006 at 4:38 pm

When my dad told that cost 10 cent a movie in 40’s and 50’s at old Capitol Theatre. It was demolished theatre in 1972, to build new Capitol Square building and it open it late 1975 with mulitplex cinemas, I use to see movies many time at Capitol Square cinemas and it was busiest theatre in first run movies. This is my favorite theatre, good sound, comforoable seating ang screens are large.
Famous Players sold to Cineplex Odeon due financial difficult in 1995 and Cineplex closed it for good due financilal difficult too in 1998. It was sad to see theatre closed and it switch to Epcor Centre office space in 2000.
