Seattle's Liberty Theatre opened at First Avenue and Pike Street in 1914, intending to be "a theatre which for perfection of appointment, convenience and luxuriousness has no equal this side of Chicago." The exterior of the building featured a forty-foot-high Statue of Liberty, illuminated by 1,200 lamps of eight different colors. When it was built, the movie theater's concave screen was the largest in the city, stretching 19 feet 4 inches wide by 14 feet 8 inches high.

The brochure pictured here commemorates the opening of the Liberty Theatre with photographs and descriptions of the entrance lobby, foyer, mezzanine, restroom facilities, orchestra, and balcony. Scheduled for opening night were two dramas, "Shadows of the Past" and "My Friend in India." The event was attended by 2,300 people, who paid 10 cents per ticket.
