The historical street address for the New Grand was 105 Sixth St. This is from the Polk city directories. Also, the Hong Kong Cafe (sign shown just below the New Grand signage) was at 107½ Sixth St. In the “Great Renumbering of the 1930s” Portland renamed and renumbered several streets.
Poor quality scan of a postcard showing the main street of Kodiak Alaska. Sent Oct 13, l941 from “Seatle N. Air Station” Kodiak Alaska to Tacoma WA. Message says “This is the largest Post we’ve hit since leaving Seattle. The nite life is terrific. Regards Ed.” The Lyric Theatre has a movie poster reading: “Roy Rogers in the Wall Street Cowboy” which is a 1939 film.

I believe this is the prior Orpheum Theatre at 27 W. Park St.
This is the later American Theatre at 25 W. Park St
This is the later American Theatre at 25 W. Park St
This is the later (1912) 25 W. Park St. location
I believe this ad is for Beck’s Theatre when it operated as the “Metropolitan” between 1912-1915.
Correct address is: 516 SW 4th Ave. Opened in 1912.
This is the Vancouver Columbia Theatre
