Description:
"Where the Sound is Better."

Absolutely lavish theatre (playhouse, not movies) built in 1927 with a seating capacity of 2,038.

Never really viable as a movie house and demolished in 1970.

The interiors were auctioned off prior to demolition, and I think I read somewhere that several pieces are in an existing theatre elsewhere in Oregon (Astoria?).

Oh, its a parking lot today.
