Multiple sources indicate that Geller’s Theatre was designed by architect Edward A. Miller. Geller’s theatre opened on Dec 25, 1927 and operated under its original name through Dec 31, 1934. Since then it has been known as the Aladdin.

I like the theater but the seats are old and uncomfortable, especially if you are over 6 feet tall.

Here’s a puzzling item from the January 3, 1928, issue of The Film Daily: “Portland, Ore. — The Geller opened on Foster Road just before Christmas.”

Did the magazine get the location wrong, or did Portland have more than one Geller Theatre?

Aladdin is a concert venue, not a cinema. A good concert venue, but still – not a cinema.
