The Dearborn, MI -based firm of Bennett and Straight designed the East Detroit Theatre and Box Office magazine described their design as "modernistic" for the time. Most of the designs for neighborhood theatres of this size and that era of the 1930's were described as "Budget Art Deco".
In mid-1965, it would temporarily close and have some remodeling done on the front of the building to give the front a "fake mansard" type of covering (shown in the picture above). On October 8, 1965, it was reopened as the Capri Theater and was described as an art theater showing more "artsy-type" films. It later became an ‘adults only’ theater in the mid-1970's.

The theater would close in the mid-1985 and later demolished in 1987 to make way for a shopping center. Today, there are retail shops where the theatre once stood.
