"Although it was a huge movie palace, I seriously doubt that the Capitol seated 6000 people. It was more like 4000. And did it really take up an entire city block?"

If you didn't know it took up the whole block, how do you know how many seats it had? The exact seats were 5300, I didn't realize you demanded exact figures. Here's a great site. Check it out.

Amoni: I seem to have offended you. Sorry for that. I stand corrected about the seating capacity of the Capitol. When I attended CASINO ROYALE there I sat in the restructured balcony which cut down on the number of available seats, according to your website, which provided interesting information.

No offense taken. Check out the site and cry at all the beauty the city has lost in the name of progress. There are no more movie theaters in Times Square, the "Entertainment Capital Of the World". Thank goodness someone had the guts to save Radio City for generations to see what moviegoing was like before the multiplex.
