The Alcazar Theatre was a motion picture theater located on the 1900 block of 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.
