Silent Saturday Morning
Buster Keaton Films from the 20s


A rare survival of a 1920s cinema, The Capitol first opened its doors to the cinema-going public in 1929, with a screening of Man, Woman and Sin.
Renamed the ABC in 1968, the cinema gave its last picture show in October 1973.
There were plans to convert and even demolish the building. However, The Capitol opened as a bingo hall in February 1978, closing in the first week of December 1996.
Good to see it paying tribute to its earlier days.
