The Capitol Theatre was located at 1645 Broadway, north of Times Square, New York City. It was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb, and had a seating capacity of 5,230. It opened October 24, 1919.
Sadly it was demolished in 1968 to make space for an ugly and generic glass tower - Paramount Plaza.
The first movie to premier here was United Artists "His Majesty, the American". Also here was the New York premiere of the "Wizard of Oz" and the great Jerry Lewis started his first job, as an usher. The last premiere was "2001: A Space Odyssey", April 3, 1968, while the last live performance was on September 16, 1968, an all-star benefit featuring Bob Hope and Johnny Carson.
