According to the Friona Star newspaper, the Capitol Theatre was opened in May of 1932 on Main Street. The owner and operator of the theatre was O.G. Turner. On July 27, 1934, the Capitol Theatre at Friona caught fire and the building was a total loss. Insurance estimated that the building and equipment were valued at $30,000, but was only insured for $10,000. The theatre was never rebuilt.
