A brief mention of the Capitol Theater:

“Much of the Charlie Chaplin movie “The Gold Rush” was filmed in Truckee. Filming began in February 1924, and lasted until April 28 of that year. In Truckee today, a giant reproduction of Chaplin’s Little Tramp is painted on the side of the Capital Theater, a fitting reminder of the winter eight decades ago when one of the most famous people in the world made Nevada County his base of operations”.
