Now the cinema is gone and it is now vacant and not sure what is the future plan for it.
The shops in Capitol Building have to shift out by end of this month for future planning of Capitol.
Side view of Capitol Theatre - used to come here for movies when hubby and me dating...lol. That's more than 20 years ago.

It is such a pity that cinemas like this are no longer viable. I hope the building is retained and put to good use.
We have an old cinema at Glenelg that will soon be lost to developers.
It will be sad to see it go!
Old buildings should be preserved.
Ya, must be the same ghost story I heard, eeeh... Pity the cinema is gone but at least the building is intact.
Gordon, I hope it will be put to good use too.
Indrani, it wont be demolished, the building will be preserved but am not sure what they will be use for. Will keep an update on it.
Mable, very true about the cinema, I used to love the interior of the cinema. I think is the only one of the kind with sculptures inside the cinema.
Good coverage! I think if I remembered correctly this was where I watch my first movie. :D

Hi Alice! It's wonderful that the building stays especially when we have such a shortage of old buildings with a history. I think I did catch 2 or 3 movies here too.
i like this building. it looks british.
Hi Alice,
What a coincidence! I was going to post on Capital cinema here. I went to the refurbished cinema on Wednesday. I took the exterior during the summer holidays. and I went wiht the gals at work to watch a movie. Don't normally do it, but it was a gals' nite out even though it was freezing cold.
Why are you scared of haunted toilets and trees? LOL Today, driving home, I saw a tree and thought of you and the Pontianut tree. Honest! I really thought of your tree.
Cheers,
Ann
