The Times Theatre was operating prior to 1938, when it was remodeled in a ‘Moderne’ style to the plans of architect Samuel Barbalat. It was closed in the early-1950’s.
In 1956, it was re-opened as the Capitol Theatre, after the original Capitol Theater in town had closed on April 28, 1956. The theatre had been renovated and a new marquee installed, with the Capitol name.
