I came upon this by sheer accident, but did notice the location....Steubenville Ohio, hometown of the late Dean Martin!

Not much known about this theatre as it reads mostly...unknown, unknown, unknown. Can anyone provide a photo of this theatre in Dean's hometown. It would be great to see it restored and a Martin theme lobby. I have read that Martin's daughter, Deana visits the town during the DM Festival so I would think she would look into this venture or get the community involved in looking at this theatre IF it still is standing which is a big question. A restored theatre could feature Martin films, etc.

The Capitol was located in Steubenville, Ohio, on South Fourth Street. From what I have heard they seemed to play mostly Warner Bros. releases. It was supposed to have been very nice and comfortable with the plush seats it had for the patrons. The theater closed in the 1960's or early 1970's. I'm pretty sure a parking lot was built over the theater's former location.

"I'm pretty sure a parking lot was built over the theater's former location." That's what we need....another parking lot! So sad!

It could have been set up to feature Steubenville's native son, Dean Martin and his films with posters in the lobby, etc.

The first film to play there in 1925 on opening night was "The Wife Which Wasn't Wanted" starring Irene Rich.

This link contains a good photograph of the 1927, Robert-Morton 3- manual theatre pipe organ that was originally installed inside Steubenville's Capitol Theatre. This fine instrument is now showcased in Tulsa, owned by Sooner State ATOS Chapter,
