The Capitol Theatre was at 1645 Broadway, just north of Times Square. Ladders indicate that the workers are still putting up the various posters and special promotional art created just for this event. During this time, you got a live performance as well: Gene Krupa and his orchestra for this one.</p>

  • <p>One opening day visitor to the Paradise noted in 1928 that if you hadn’t gotten to see a movie, the Paradise Theatre experience itself might have been worth it. Between the columns in the foyer – yes, the foyer – are murals, statutes, sculpture and intriguing light fixtures. The $5,000,000 theatre left an impression.</p>
