What dept did your dad work in. I was there from ‘72 to 92.
I am going to try to post the program info recording for the Victory I made in 1969. We went later to see the features. http://antiqueradios.com/gallery/d/125766-1/Drive-InVictory.mp3
If you can’t get the recording, try to right click on the link, then save target as.. to your desktop.
I have some other photos I made when they turned it into a triplex, screen torn down on the ground. NOt a good sight.
Yes Chuck, I think it would be best to list the theatre as you say, or both ways.
The last time I went to the Capri, dad too us kids to see the original version House of Wax (1953) in 3D. I think that was about 1966 or so. I posted a couple of other photos and Google map on the Photos tab.
Now that the site has been renewed, I will see if I can post a couple of photos here. I have two of the demolition of the Capri from around ‘76 or '77, where the whole block is boarded up. The block then became the “Federal Lot” for parking. TOday I see an office building has been built in that spot. I will get my photos up asap.
The Rivoli/Capri theatre was located on Van Nuys Blvd. between Erwin St on the South, and Sylvan on the North. 6528 was their address. The Post office is at 6200 Van Nuys Blvd right at Delano St. The Capri was a block North.
Contrary to earlier post, the theatre (and entire block) was NOT razed to build a post office. The PO was one block further South.
Erwin St. is now blocked off to traffic. The block had the Capri theatre, a billiards hall on the North side of it, and an unclaimed freight building and a shoe repair shop on the corner of Erwin.
After the block was demolished, a parking lot for the federal building occupied the space. The post office had already been built by this time.
I have 2 good photos of the Capri, although the block was boarded up for demolition, I am guessing around 1976 or 1977.
When I get the photo digitally watermarked, I will post it here for this theatre. BTW, I have seen other photos on the net, showing the Rivoli and the other business on that block.
Hi POB, Glad you and your mom liked all the photos of this theatre. I wish I would have taken more of them. Take care :)

Nevermind the photo info. (Due to copying from print.)
