Usherettes at the Columbia Theater in Portland, 1916. At the advent of the 20th century, the city of Portland, Oregon, was among the first on the United States West Coast to embrace the advent of the silent and feature film. The city's first movie palace, the Majestic Theatre (later known as the United Artists Theatre), opened in 1911.
Previously, the venue was an adult movie theater known as Oregon Theater. [2] The building was completed in 1925 and originally housed a Wurlitzer pipe organ and vaudeville stage.
