This theater was torn down in the late ‘60’s or early '70’s. There is a JC Penney’s store on the site now.

The Capitol Theatre was located at 420 Nebraska Street and it seated 1700 people.
My in laws were married in Sioux City 60 years ago and they went to a movie at the capitol theatre that weekend. I am trying to put together a memory picture for them and I am looking for a postcard or picture of the capitol theatre to put in it. Does anyone know if I can obtain a reprint of this picture or where I might find other pictures or a postcard of the capitol theatre?
Thanks!
The Capitol Theatre was one of seven theatres that was operated by one of Paramount Theatres subsidiaries.
A Barton theater organ size 3/10 was installed in the Capitol Theater in 1928.

The Capitol Theatre was extensively altered in 1942, removing shops from the building front, extending the balcony, and increasing its original seating capacity by 300. An article with photos appeared in the July 18, 1942, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. The renovated interior was in the Art Moderne style. The project was designed by the Des Moines architecture firm Wetherell & Harrison.
