<DIV>This Theater thing is interesting! I lived in Tacoma in the 40s and 50s and at that time (in Tacoma) were the Blue Mouse, The Roxy, The Rialto, and the Music Box Theaters! (Plus a couple of Porno Places. Iwonder if they were owned by the same Theater Company?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>My older sister Lois grew up in Portland in the late 40 and early 50's. She married in 1954, moved away but moved back in the late 60's. She seems to remember the "Roxy" theatre turned into a burlesque theater sometime in the early 50's. The only theaters she remember were the Premier theater and they were the "Broadway" and the "Paramount" in downtown Portland. Her girlfriend and she went and saw "River of No Return" with Marilyn Monroe. She also remembers the Coney Island" cafe with Johnny Ray singing on the Jude box.</FONT></DIV>
