A movie theater ad from 1949 for the Capitan Theatre in Dallas.
The Capitan Theatre was nearing completion according to the July 20, 1946, issue of Boxoffice. It was part of the Underwood-Ezell circuit.
Here is a link to a photo in the Dallas Public Library digital archives that shows the Capitan Theater at night, 1952 – marquee says “Member of the Wedding.”

Thanks for the movie ad.
Does anyone know why this theatre was torn down after only nine years' operation?
The last ad I can find for the Capitan in the Dallas Morning News archives is for Saturday, January 1, 1955; a double feature, “Betrayed” with Clark Gable and Lana Turner, and “Rancho Notorious” with Marlene Dietrich. No article announces the closing. The ads simply disappear after this date.
Historic Aerials' latest view of the intersection of Henderson and Capitol showing the theatre building is 1958; next view is 1972, and the building is gone.
