I think this is the right location, as the current building is called Capitol Centre. Can anyone confirm?

Hi there,

Right on.  That was the site of the former Capital Theatre. 

The only old theatre building in the area still standing is the President Theatre located in Jaffe Road and King Lung Street, very close to the Sogo Department Store.  It had been converted to Mini Theatres.  The rest of the venue was once a shopping centre and a restaurant.  It's vacant now, I think.

There is another old theathre in Causeway Bay.  It used to be called the Isis Theatre (新都) however it folded at least a decade ago and is not the site of a christian church.  It's just off Morton Terrace, opposite to the Central Library.

Best Regards,

T
