On line newspaper archives show that the Capitol was advertised as a J. B. Milne cinema until Saturday May 2nd 1959. On Monday May 4th ABC were advising that the Capitol was closed for installation of Todd AO. The ABC Capitol reopened with South Pacific on Monday May 25th 1959.

The opening film on August 6th 1956 at the Capitol was Carousel in CinemaScope and 4 track magnetic stereophonic sound.

I would like to contact contributor Donald J Kirkbryde regarding his DUNDEE CINEMA HISTORY RESEARCH NOTES, 1999. I wonder if this can be done via ‘Cinema Treasures’? Fingers crossed! Jimmy Smith (Jester)
