My Grandfather managed the Capitol theater for many years. I saw my very first movie there when I was four years old. It was “Sleeping Beauty.” My mother had one of the gilt mirrors from the theater hanging in our upstairs hallway for many years and had a couple of the original straight-back chairs. She also has photographs of my grandfather with some of the performers and an article from the newspaper about the theater and my grandfather when George Gershwin used to play the piano (before he was famous) in between Vaudeville skits.
