The Capitol Theatre, of the same name located in Port Hope, also appeared in the movies.

Both the exterior and the hall were filmed in this beautifully restored 1930s atmospheric theatre, which features an Art Deco façade.

However, the interior was filmed at the Westdale Theatre in Hamilton, another historic Art Deco cinema opened in 1935. This location can be rented for filming and events.
