This programme was issued by The Capitol Theatre, Swanston Street, Melbourne for a season in 1928

 
 
The Capitol Theatre is a classic art deco theatre. The first Picture palace to be built in Australia, the theatre was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and opened in 1924.

Recognised in Australia and described by Australian Architect Robyn Boyd as one of the most beautiful cinemas ever built, the Capitol is world renown for its famous ornate plaster ceiling which conceals 4000 coloured light globes, creating a crystaline effect.

Classified by the Australian National Trust as a treasure, the Capitol currently awaits registration on the world register for significant buildings.

The theatre was reconfigured in 1965, reducing seating capacity from 2100 to 700. During this makeover, the theatre was cut in half, the stalls (orchestra seats) ripped out to create a shopping arcade.
