Final credits roll for Cork cinema

CORK’S Lord Mayor led tributes last night to an iconic city centre cinema which closes to the public today after almost 70 years in business.

However, 200 people are already on a waiting list to attend the classic Bogart film, Casablanca, which will be screened for an invited audience of dignitaries tomorrow night, after which the curtain will come down on Capitol cinema history.

Lord Mayor Deirdre Clune will be among the invited audience.
