Famous Players opened what was originally the Capitol Theatre on the corner of Greater George Street and Grafton Street in downtown Charlottetown around 1935. The single-screen theatre seated 513 during its movie years.
The theatre closed for movies in 1965 and was later acquired by the city for its Confederation Centre for the Arts complex. Following renovations and a reduction in seating to convert the venue for live performances, it was renamed as the Mack Theatre. It currently seats 200 and has a bar for liquor service.

Some current interior shots can be found on their website.
The Capitol Theatre opened its doors on December 5, 1927 with Raymond Keane in “The Lone Eagle” and the Our Gang comedy “Love Me, Love My Dog”, and was a replacement of an earlier Capitol Theatre nearby that closed the previous day. The Capitol was part of Famous Players throughout its history as a movie theater.
Prior to the nearby Prince Edward Cinemas' opening in April 1973, the Capitol and the Centre Theatre were the only indoor first-run movie theaters in Charlottestown. However, that number was downgraded from three to two when the Capitol Theatre closed as a first-run movie theater during the mid-1970s.
