Capitol Theatre
Oxford Journal, September 27, 1923
Capitol Opened
The new Capitol Theatre (pronounced Capitawl) recently erected on Main Street by A.E. Smith & Son was opened to the public on Tuesday evening. The building is constructed of cement blocks with white corner pieces, by Cement Building Company of Moncton and has a large gilt sign in front. The interior walls and ceiling are of metallic sheathing. The stage is large and convenient, with auditorium and gallery to seat 350 people. The floors are on an incline and below stairs have very comfortable chairs.
The woodwork was done in good style by Wm. A. Blair, carpenter and builder. Geo. M. Mackintosh did the wiring in his usual careful manner. The theatre is a fine building and a credit to all concerned.
As stated the initial performance was on Tuesday. A light comedy was first put on, followed by the thrilling and interesting drama “Ninety and Nine,” which had a good moral teaching and happy ending. Music of a high quality was furnished by Misses Helen Thompson and Mildred Johnson. Percy Smith gave good satisfaction as picture operator.
