This is a vintage photo of the Capitol Theater. Text with photo claims that the Capitol Theater was formerly the Old Park Theater. Would the aka name be Old Park Theater or Park Theater?
The aka name should be Park Theater. Here is a 1910 photo of the Park Theater. Same building as the Capitol Theater.
Here is a photo, possibly late twenties or eaaarly thirties:

If it wasn’t blurry we could probably figure out the year.
From Google Views it looks like this theatre was demolished long ago. It was just a block away from the Indiana Theatre.
The Capitol Theatre was next door to the Indiana Theatre.
