Capitol Theatre, Perth, Art Nouveau theatre in Perth, Australia
The Capitol Theatre featured a large illuminated sign measuring 40 feet by 20 feet on its William Street facade and contained 2,250 seats.
Architect George Temple-Poole and Christian Frederik Mouritzen designed the Capitol Theatre, which opened its doors on May 4, 1929.
The theatre presented both cinema screenings and live performances, including shows by artists Bob Dylan, Noel Coward, and Laurence Olivier.
The venue divided its seating capacity between 1,287 seats in the stalls and 963 in the circle, serving as Perth's entertainment center.
A 16-foot chandelier containing 300 lights decorated the interior, which now hangs in Melbourne's Princess Theatre following the building's 1968 demolition.
