Capitol Theatre, former movie theater at 1645 Broadway, just north of Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, United States
Capitol Theatre was a movie theater in Manhattan housed in a grand building that drew audiences for film screenings. The structure was eventually demolished and no longer stands today.
The theater opened during an era when movie palaces represented a new form of urban entertainment. It eventually closed, and like many cinemas of that period, the building was torn down.
Since the theater no longer exists, visitors can only walk past its former location in Manhattan. The exact site can be found through historical records or local information sources.
