The Capitol Centre
The property upon which the Capitol was built was purchased in 1927 by Louis Rosenbaum, a Sturgeon Falls businessman. He began building the structure and, when he ran out of funds, he sold it to Famous Players Canadian Corporation. They opened the Capitol Theatre on June 1st, 1929. The Capitol had 1455 seats and was referred to as “a palace of splendor” with it’s elaborate Spanish lights and décor. The movie that was shown to the sold out grand opening crowd was, In Old Arizona. It was the first all-talking Fox feature movie, a western starring Edmund Lowe, Warren Baxter and Dorothy Burgess.

You know Tom Green from his innovative, anything-goes run as the most unpredictable personality on MTV’s “The Tom Green Show,” and his unforgettable, deliciously loony roles in the uproarious film comedies including “Road Trip.,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Bob the Butler,” “Stealing Harvard” and the cult classic “Freddy Got Fingered.”
The multi-talented Canadian comedian, actor, director, and broadcaster graced the cover of Rolling Stone, hosted “Saturday Night Live,” commandeered the coveted guest-host chair on “Late Night With David Letterman,” and conquered the World Wide Web with his free-wheeling wildly popular Internet talk show. Tom is often called the godfather of the podcasting revolution, who inspired a generation of voices to find their platform. A Crave Original Series, Tom Green's "Funny Farm" marks the debut of Tom's co-development deal with Bell Media. The series stars Tom Green as he engages guests in extended, magazine-dash style interviews on his farm in rural Ontario. Each episode features Tom hosting a variety of special guests - from stand-up comedians, prominent celebrities, and quirky country experts - all with an emphasis on how proud Tom is to be a Canadian.
