The Theatre was the first design by the now well known cinema architect Andrew Mather, who would go on to design the Odeon in Leicester Square with Harry Weedon. The Capitol Theatre was built for Sir Walter Gibbons who originally leased it to the Clavering Brothers for its opening on the 11th February 1925 with a showing of the Film 'The Miracle of the Wolves'. It was later leased to the General Theatres Corporation who would be taken over by Gaumont British Theatres in 1928. The Capitol Theatre seated 1, 550 people in its opulent Neo-Classical style auditorium. Date: 1925
