I was talking recently about the Bob White with an organ enthusiast friend. He said that the live-in owner died and that most if not all of the organ had weathered badly.. Call him, Stan Clarke,at 503-253-9886. Also, the for sale sign says contact Michael Tharp or Ross Connor at 503-223-7181. Hope this wil help.
Saw “Taza Son of Chochise” there in 3D along with “Rob Roy” It was, to my recollection, the only theater to show it in 3D in Portland. I remember shivering in the cold rain waiting for the bus.
The Bob White Theater was my neighborhood theater. I remember the flury of 3D movies seen there in 1953. Remember it being sold out for Disney’s The Vanishing Prairie with Bear Country. Around the corner,for just a few months beginning in 1912 was the Brownie Theater as shown in the book Theaters of Portland. Even today you can see the projection booth extension to the back of the building.
The Laurelhust had the first wide screen in Portland. It was likely part of the 1953 remodeling.
