SORRY YOU’D BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE HAS TO PUT ANYONE UP TO GIVING A THEATER SUCH A RAVE REVIEW, HOWEVER THAT’S YOUR CROSS TO BEAR. I GREW UP IN THE CAPITAL THEATER…. I GUESS SOME OF US WERE LUCKIER THAN OTHERS AS CHILDREN. BY THE WAY YOUR INFORMATION HAS BEEN INFORMATIVE(THE OBITUARY)HOWEVER YOU FORGOT TO MENTION HE ALSO OPENED A LINE OF CLOTHING STORES FOR LOW INCOMED FAMILIES ONE WHICH WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE P.A.L. ON 41ST AND LANCASTER AVENUE IN PHILADELPHIA.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED KLIEMANS(THE NAME ACTUALLY STILL SITS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING WITH IT’S BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE SCRIPT WRITING WORN FROM THE ELEMENTS)HE LATER CHANGED THE NAME TO “JACK AND JILL’S” MY MOTHER SHOPPED THERE FOR NEW SCHOOL CLOTHES AND EVERY EASTER OUTFIT FOR MYSELF AN MY THREE SIBLINGS…. NO THEATER BUFF I WASN’T PUT UP TO ANYTHING….I GUESS THESE ARE THE PERKS OF GROWING UP POOR AND IN THE GHETTO!!!
I want to thank you guys for your help. After visiting the Imdb website I remembered a line from the movie which was “MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY” when I entered that in the search box the movie named “CANNIBAL ferox” appeared. However it’s american name was “MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY”. It was actually banned in 37 countries and it is exactly as I remember it, however it was 3 anthropologist who visited the island….. well check out the rest for yourselves at http://www.Imdb.com/title/tt0082700/ thanks again!!
As a child I remember the Capital Movie Theater being the best babysitter in the world!! My mom would send my brother , my sister and myself there EVERY Saturday, with $5.00 ,it was $3.00’s to get in and we’d buy penny candy with the rest. We’d be there from the opening matinee until the 8pm show (12pm -8pm) The Capital movie theater always made kids feel like kung fu stars. They always showed the newest and hottest “Chinese Movies” Stars such as Sonny Chiba, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Bruce Li. Movies such as The 5 deadly venoms, Enter the Dragon, Black Cat of Kung-fu, Drunkin Master, and the Shaolin Monks!!! We’d leave the theater and practice our newly learned skills on each other along the way home! I have nothing but love for this theater, it was when kids could be kids!! I even remember on several occasions the managers would give out free popcorn and hot dogs to children that arrived early for matinees and stayed all day! Anyone with any rememberance of the Capital as I’ve expressed please… lets share some stories.
i’m searching for anyone who remembers the very last movied played at the GOLDMAN. This movie was so gorey at it’s showing(equal to Saw or Seven today) that it was banned fron 20 other countries, however the GOLDMAN was closing down and showed the movie anyway! If anyone has any info on the name of the movie please contact me at Some how my memory keep telling me it was called I’ll Eat Your Brains! It was about a group of filmmakers who went to a island to shoot a movie of the local primative tribe, when the cheifs daughter was accidently shot by a real gun instead of the prop gun, the locals showed the film crew why they were so isolated and primative…..because they were cannibles. oh my good it was a great horror at that time, the GOLDMAN even passed out barf bags!!! Please help me in my search!
