Wow what a great Art Deco blade sign. Must have been a stylish theatre in it’s day. Yes a tragedy that a parking lot is the afterlife of these larger than life buildings/treasures.

I like the old signage so much better than the replacement. Great pic.

Classic and dramatic look. Stone figures are beautiful. Should be turned back into a theatre of some kind.

Photo is very artistic and evocative. Lights look like crystal. Blade signs are strange.

Great signage. Check out the remake of the House of Wax. Art Deco theatre playing the same film. Made of wax. This is the most interesting pic.

Wonderful photo. Truck looks like a toy truck. Signs are very intereating.

What an elegant theatre. Outside looks plain. To bad they tore it apart as usual.

Wish there were interior pictures of this great historic theatre. I just remember the elaborate exterior smoldering for years. Also of the interiors of the Winter Garden, Embassy, Colonial, Roosevelt, Alhambra and Blue Mouse in Seattle.

A loss to Seattle was the destruction of this attractive old theatre in a great area. Could have lived on for years as a stage venue. Just add a stage and take off the bad front fake walls. An eyesore for years.

What a beautiful entrance. Elegant windows and building trim. A lost art by today’s standards.

One of the best designed lobby open spaces anywhere. Very post post art-deco. Great neon.

Have attended many good films here and it remains one of the best theatres in Seattle area. Well maintained and now 3D and digital. Curved screens in all 6 auditoriums and great sound. Clean and updated everywhere. For an older building it has a neon decorated lobby and great location.

Wonderful art deco facade. Should be restored as a first run house again. Upscale area of Seattle could support it.

Great theatre still but I wish they would restore the original signage. I have seen many a film here over the years. Still attend often.
