The 104th had the largest screen in Portland when it was built. 125 feet wide. Unfortunately, the picture was alway a bit dim. In later years the theater was divided and a smaller screen added. After it closed, the small screen from the twin was moved to the 99w in Newberg to replace the screen that had been damaged during a wind storm.
The 104th Street Drive-In had a car capacity of 1,200.
I saw “Dr Jekyle & Ms. Hyde and Batman Forever here, I think in 1995. There were multiple screens.
The lot is now used for storing the local carnival’s trailers. Also I think that large metal storage buildings have been put on the property.

Wonder why they have the cage around the marquee?
I think they were trying to save it.
Thats what I thought.
It was either that or they had enough of theatre employees from other theatre chains changing their Marquee. I had it done to me by the gang from NATIONAL HILLS,redoing the Marquee at COLUMBIA 1 and 2 which served me right because several months earlier me and some Plitt Theatre guys rode to the HILLTOP DRIVE -in And Changed their Marquee to something I cannnot print on CT. Don’t you love the real Theatre business 1974-80.
