EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1925, offering a glimpse into the projection room of Detroit's iconic Capitol Theatre. Designed by renowned architect Charles Howard Crane, this cinema and concert venue opened its doors in 1922, becoming a hub of entertainment for the city. The photograph showcases the intricate architecture and attention to detail that went into creating this grand space. In this monochrome image, we see the projectionist at work inside the dimly lit room. Surrounded by vintage projectors and equipment, they skillfully handle their occupation with precision. The atmosphere exudes an air of professionalism as they bring movies to life on screen for eager audiences. The Capitol Theatre holds significant historical value as it represents an era when movie theaters were not just places for entertainment but also architectural marvels that captured people's imaginations. It stood as a testament to America's booming film industry during the early 20th century. Today, although no longer functioning as a theater, this magnificent building has been transformed into the Detroit Opera House after undergoing extensive renovations between 1988 and 1996. Its rich history lives on through photographs like these which allow us to appreciate both its architectural splendor and its role in shaping Detroit's cultural landscape during a vibrant period in American history.
