A long time fixture in the center of the best little town left on the totally Californicated Wasatch front. The former balcony has suffered the twin fate. The place is so old it is a National Register listed property.
It achieved world fame for being noticable in a Budweiser commercial a few years ago. The bigger but plainer Roxy Theatre across and down from it was torn down in 1980, sadly.

is californicated a real word???????
There should be an aka name of Elberta Theatre.
The word in question has been in common usuage for atleast 30 years.First popularized in Oregon,then Washington.It truly applies to the changes in N.Utah.Of course,there are those that do not regard the word as negative,but a sign of great progress.
Here is a photo of the Capitol Theater dated 1935.
Thanks,Mr.Memory.Great shot,but I hope the folks will go back and forward and see the other shots,some of older theaters,some showing the rich cultural life that was,oddly,often the feature of small Mormon towns.I think part of that is the vast varieties of immigrants who brought their talents and cultures.
Mr. G, I saw the photo of the Opera House and the Florence Theater. I have no idea if either one of them ever showed movies so I can’t add them to this site.
This is a recent close-up view.
