The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Esta Theatre with 285 seats as the only theatre in town. In the 1943 & 1950 editions of Film Daily Yearbook the only theatre in town is listed as the Broadway Theatre with 300 seats. Could these be the same theatre as this Estacada Theater?

Ken Roe commented about Orpheum Theatre on Sep 6, 2007 at 10:24 am

The Orpheum Theatre is listed in the American Motion Picture Directory;1914-1915 edition, as is the Opera House. So both must have been showing movies at that time.
