The Alcazar Theatre was a motion picture theater located at 1911 2nd Avenue North. It was managed by S. S. Griffin and exhibited Broadway, V.L.S.E, Metro, World and Fox pictures accompanied by its own 12-piece Alcazar Orchestra.
The theater exterior was extensively renovated in 1915 with new poster windows on the street. It was later re-named the Capitol Theater.
