The Capitol Theatre.

Above is a composite of three photographs, “stitched” together through the magic of computers. In later years, larger more comfortable seating reduced the seating capacity to about 900 seats.

The Freeholder, January 1928 reporting Opening Night:
The main auditorium is of Spanish design, the walls being of California Stucco Sponge finish with pilasters of Travertine stone capped with baskets of flowers bordered with rope columns. The ceiling is of concave design decorated in turquoise blue with concealed cove lighting with cornices finished in gold and ivory and frieze interspersed with shells finished in mother-of-pearl with a rich golden background in which there is concealed an orange amber light.

THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS.
