This opened as Capitol on August 18th, 1923. Grand opening ad posted.
In Lost Memory’s Nov. 3, 2008 post, the photo shows something quite interesting. The lightbulb sunburst that is swung out from the top of the facade is nearly identical to a similar feature which was mounted on top of T&D’s DeLuxe Theatre in San Jose (1912, with the sunburst added a little later). I just compared a photo of the San Jose example with that in the above post/link. The one in San Jose had no writing in it, whereas the Sacramento one says “T&D’s Photoplays DeLuxe.”
The Capitol Theatre is listed at 615 K Street in 1955, so yes, it must the same as the T&D Theatre in the photo.
Here are some photos of the various incarnations:
