Opened around 1910 as the Rex, this 850-seat theater on Willamette Street has also been called the Majestic, the Progressive, the National, and in its final years in operation, in the 60s, the Fox.
Today the building houses the Downtown Athletic Club and Conference Center. It also houses a restaurant.
Any further information on this theater would be appreciated.

The grand-re-opening as the National was on June 9, 1971, not June 11. The street address given in the National ads was 969 (not 999) Willamette.
