I found some info on the Capri Theater.

The Capri opened in 1924 as the 1250 seat Deluxe Theater. The name changed to Capital Theater, Tennessee Theater, and finally to the Capri Theater. The Capri Theater was demolished in 1985. Above info comes from this website.

I saw a James Bond film there,the one with Lazenby. I remember it being BIG,and ornate. I sat in the balcony. It was bulldozed to make way for the Johnson City Press building.

The Three Stooges appeared at the Tennessee Theater in October of 1947. An ad can be seen on this site.

No, it was demolished to make way for the BUS station. People were pushing for it to be torn down, due to its final years as a porn house. The Presbyterian church across the street was probably glad to see it go, although I attended church there at the time, and was sick to see that wonderful old building come down.
