| 释义 |
See Alcazar Theatre (1885) and Alcazar Theatre (1976) for two other SF theaters of the same name. The Alcazar Theatre was a 1,145 seat theatre located at 260 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California, built in 1911 by architects Cunningham and Politeo fir producer Fred Belasco, replacing the previous Alcazar Theatre one block to the east, which was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake fire. This venue soon became one of San Francisco's leading legitimate theatres offering a wide range of productions, and like its predecessor, also housed a popular resident stock company. It was purchased in 1922 by Thomas Wilkes for $125,000 from the estates of Belasko and M.E. Mayer. With the advent of the sound film, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Alcazar became a secondary low-price movie theater, and in 1936 and 1937, housed the Federal Theatre Project of the Works Progress Administration. In 1945, the theatre was used by the United Nations Peace Conference for some of its meetings, and afterwards reopened as the United Nations Theatre. The building was renovated once again in 1952, renamed the Alcazar Theatre and again devoted to legitimate stage productions. The theatre was closed on December 31, 1961, and was torn down.
