Theaters of Oregon: Before the Show Began

Theaters have always captured our imaginations. Their
architecture and lighting have drawn us inside. Their
decorative lobbies have let us know something special was
about to happen. Darrell Jabin toured and took photos of
dozens of theaters. He researched Opera houses, Chautauqua
vaudeville and movie palaces.
