Closed on September 7, 1987 with “The Untouchables” and “April Fool’s Day”.
Boxoffice, May 2, 1953: “The new Powell Boulevard airer opened Wednesday (29) with Bruce R. Keller as manager. The theatre features walk-in facilities. It will be equipped to show both 3-D and CinemaScope type films. Keller, who is a secretary of the firm operating the situation, has been a member of the industry since 1907. Officers of the corporation are Guy E. Mathews, Ernest V. Harris, H. C. Kurasch and Cecil Willis.”
The April 4, 1953 issue of Boxoffice said that construction on a new drive-in in Gresham OR would start “as soon as the new Powell Boulevard Drive-In is completed at 112th avenue. That drive-in was slated to open immediately.” Owners were Guy E. Mathews of Gresham, Ernest Harris of Sandy “and their associates.”
No, although its technically not on Powell Blvd, that is the closest major road.
Was the street it was on used to be called Powell Blvd?
Now Russell middle school @ 3955 SE 112th Ave, Portland, OR 97266.
