The Cine Capri was truly a grand theater. I grew up in Phoenix and lived there from 1961 to 1991. I lived less than a mile down the road from the theater (23rd St & Indian School Rd) and have many fond memories of attending movies there. The ones I can clearly recall were The Jungle Book, True Grit, Jaws and Star Wars. I also remember going to see gas-powered remote control race cars being raced around the Cine Capri parking lot on Saturday mornings by local clubs. What a shame they tore the place down. They just don’t make ‘em like that any more. Even if they came close in size, they could never reproduce the atmosphere.
Does anyone out there have any photos of the inside?
