In the year 1928, the city of Rome welcomed a first-of-its-kind theatre, called the Rome Capitol Theatre. Back then, admission prices to see a film were 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for kids and on Monday night, the theatre did just that to honor 90 years in the film industry.

"This theatre was the first theatre in town that was able to play the new talking pictures,” explained Art Pierce, the theatre's executive director.

The building is still home to its original 1928 organ, which Pierce said is something fewer than 40 other theatres can boast. There's still the variable speed projector, the original molding and structure, and even an arc carbone projector, which is an art of film dating back to the early 1900s.

The night at the Capitol Theatre ended with screening the exact film played 90 years ago: Lilac Time.
