The prow-like marquee of this big old University District theater juts over the classic stand-alone box office. Nautical themes continue with a ship-shaped concession counter and tridents studded into the padded interior doors. It's a grand theater for grand spectacle, showing one major-market movie at a time on a big screen in a big room. There's a balcony and a good sound system. Call or check the Web site for show times.
