Historical background
On March 8, 1928 — as is usual in March — it was not warm outside. It was cold. That did not bother the three thousand-strong crowd of cinema fans. The line was waiting patiently for hours to get to the opening of the cinema seating 3,036. It was built in 1927 in the architectural tradition of the French Renaissance by Chicago architects. The building miraculously survived in the 1970's, when the stream of those who wanted to watch the cinema was very thin, the earnings came down and it was very much wanted to be demolished, but the process was stopped in time thanks to a historic landmark designation in 1972. However, many of the items inside, including the organ, were sold at an auction. Portland Theater, Portland Paramount or, as it is called by the locals now, Schnitz, was renamed Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in 1984, when the Schnitzer family donated $1 million to complete the reconstruction. The theater has hosted concerts by so well-known musicians as Frank Sinatra, Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Marley, and Madonna. Today it is the home of the Oregon Philharmonic, a meeting place for music lovers.
