On this day in 1925, the Capitol Theatre officially opened with "a banquet of entertainment" including organ music, photo plays, and speeches from local dignitaries. It was a chance to show off "your home theatre" as the centerpiece of the newly completed Capitol Building in East Arlington, MA.

Here's another newspaper clipping from the archives! Take a look at the Capitol Theatre a week or two after it opened in 1925. The movie showing at the time was the silent film Satan in Sables. The building was so new, the corner storefront had not yet been leased.
