I did a google search, and found the Capitol Theatre web site. Enter: chathamcapitoltheatre.com and this will take you to their home page. There is a great shot of the auditorium and brief text about the history.

The Capitol theatre has just received a seven million dollar grant and and expects the balance of work to be completed in about a year. I attended their open house a few weeks ago and was very impressed with everything that was done so far. They’ve done very costly things like adding a balcony, an elevator, and even a hydraulic orchestra pit. Unfortunately, it sound like the new Capitol venue will be strictly one for performing arts — too bad, it’d be a grand place to see a movie.
The architect for the Theatre is Theodore Jagmin.
This Theatre is Closed/Renovating/Restoring.
It is still offering Programming but in alternate locations throughout the community.
