I picked up these ticket stubs inside a Fort Worth antique store a few months ago. The original theater operated from 1922 until sometime in the 1970s, eventually being demolished to make way for a 20-story office building.

Today the former location of the Capri is taken up by the Pacific Place building, which opened for business in 1982.
