The Capitol Theatre opened on December 19, 1922, with seating listed at 465. It was just a few doors down from the Carolina Theatre. The theatre was operated by J.F. White Theatres and later by Consolidated Theatres.
The Capitol Theatre closed in 1958 and was retrofitted for retail use. It has since been demolished. Any further information on the Capitol Theatre would be appreciated.
