==History==

The Capitol was one of the first of the large lavish movie theaters that dominated the film exhibition business for the next 40 years. The theater was acquired in 1924 by the entertainment magnate Marcus Loew and became the flagship of his deluxe Loew's Theatres chain.
The Capitol was the frequent site of the world premieres of films made by the Loew's-owned Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. This was the theatre at which the classic 1939 film ''The Wizard of Oz'' had its first New York run.〔Nugent, Frank S. ("Movie Review…''The Wizard of Oz''" ), ''The New York Times'', August 18, 1939.〕
After having been converted for the presentation of Cinerama wide screen films in 1964, the theater's last engagement was the New York premiere of MGM's ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. The Capitol closed September 16, 1968 with a live all-star benefit featuring Bob Hope and Johnny Carson.〔Crowther, Bosley. ("Old-Time Star-Filled Benefit to Close Capitol Theater Tonight" ). ''New York Times'', September 16, 1968.〕 The Times Square landmark was replaced by the Paramount Plaza office tower.
