The Bagdad Theatre is a movie theater in the Hawthorne District of Portland, Oregon, United States. It originally opened in 1927 and was the site of the premiere gala of ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' in 1975, and of ''My Own Private Idaho'' in 1991. The theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Bagdad Theatre in 1989. It is owned by the McMenamins brewpub chain. ==Description== The rectangular structure covers almost all of four adjacent lots that total less than . Resting on a concrete foundation, the Bagdad is made largely of reinforced concrete covered with stucco. Building heights vary from three-and-a-half stories on the north to three in the middle to five on the south. Partial basements underlie the north and south ends, and the structure is topped by a variety of shed, hip, and flat roofs of red tile.〔 Commercial storefronts, separated by a glassed-in theatre entrance, face north and west on the main floor. Other exterior features include multi-paned transoms, fanlight transoms, red tile hoods above windows, decorative molding, mock rafters, and wrought-iron balconets. With few exceptions, the exterior looks as it did in 1927.〔 A lobby leads from the entrance toward the theatre's viewing areas. Hallways, ramps, and the auditorium have concrete walls decorated in a style meant to suggest the interior of a building near the Mediterranean Sea. Features include trompe-l'œil tiles, ornate lighting fixtures, arched doorways, and motifs involving animals and mythological creatures.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bagdad Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
