Talk:Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

message: I remember going to see Hoyt Axton at the Paramount (Loudon Wainwright III opened) with my mom in the early 1980s. Are there any sources for the history of the Paramount as a concert venue? The latest edit shows the concerts only taking place through the early 1970s. (Or are we only referring to "major" concerts? Hoyt Axton, bless him, probably wasn't considered major at that point...) I have fond memories of the decayed opulence of the place, are there any photos from this phase of its history? Katr67 11:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The decayed opulence has been restored during the latest restoration. The lobby is much brighter now; the mirrors have been re-silvered and polished. --Allyn 02:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  History as a concert venue 

message: The following is unsourced information:
*The present "Portland" marquee is a replica of the original theater sign. The original, replaced during the remodel, still read "Paramount". The removal of the sign turned out badly, as it accidentally fell onto the sidewalk in an impressive crash.
*A secret door between the theater and the Heathman Hotel's cigar room next door was uncovered during the renovation.
*In 1963, the owner of the Paramount Theatre sued Elizabeth Taylor because her scandalous behavior with Richard Burton during the filming of the movie "Cleopatra" caused it to perform poorly at the box office.
*Many high schools in the greater Portland metro area; as well as colleges such as OHSU, NCNM, and Marylhurst; use the facility for their graduation ceremonies because of its prestige and seating capacity.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: I've heard this story myself, but I think it deserves more coverage if someone can come up with a reliable source.  The statue certainly exists, but I wasn't in the Schnitz back in the '50s; such a dramatic event must have been written about back in the day so I expect some original documentation must still be available.  Anyone?  Wyvern (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this section necessary? Seems arbitrary to me. The concert hall has hosted acts and performances by thousands of notable over the decades... ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
