The Zoe Theater opened in October 1914. The name was changed to the Capitol Theater in the 1920’s. The Capitol Theater is listed as a first run house in 1925. Not listed in 1930 so it’s possible that this was a silent era theater.

Here is a July 1919 ad for Charlie Chaplin in “Sunnyside” at the Zoe Theater.

WOW and add that you can really read. LM is the Queen listed on CT? I couldn’t find it.

I’m not certain which Queen Theater that is. There were two Queen Theaters in Houston. I added one Queen Theater which is listed here.
