Hollywood Theatre

My wife and I enjoyed seeing “The Lives of Others” at the Hollywood week-before-last. The exterior is looking really nice. The Fifties-style marquee still does its job in a tawdry way, but the rest of the exterior is painted nicely, and the newly repainted and relamped vertical sign is an animated stunner! It’s a wonderful thing that is happening at the Hollywood. Though clearly there is much work to be done, much has already been accomplished. If I lived in or near Portland, I’d get involved in it!

Jensen – Would you be willing to contact the people at the Hollywood Theater? We’re starting the campaign to restore the building and would love to hear more about the history about the theater and your grandfather’s contribution to one of the great landmarks in Portland.

HE AND VON HERBERG STARTED MANY MORE THEATERS
AROUND THE NORTHWEST.

There was also a Hollywood Theater in Salem. Here is a link. You have to browse a bit to see the photo:

The Hollywood Theatre was part of Evergreen State Amusement Corp. which was affliated with National Theatres Inc. (Fox Theatres). The Hollywood was an outlet in Portland for Cinerama. (3-Panel)

Does this theater have party packages and who would I call to get pricing and availability . This would be for a children’s party
