Renamed Capitol again on January 24th, 1950 on a discount policy. Another ad posted.

Any interior pics of this old gem? Great marquee and exterior detail.

This opened as Capitol on November 11th, 1924 and reopened as Telenews on September 19th, 1941. Sterling owned it during the Telenews years. Both grand opening ads posted here.

This theater was the Telenews in the mid-1940s.

The Capitol Theatre originally had a 2/11 Kimball theatre organ installed in 1924.
