The theatre also operated under the names Majestic, Progressive and National (National Theaters chain), but the dates these names were used is unknown. In the 1960’s, the house was called the Fox (Fox-Evergreen chain).
In 1939, the organ was moved to the Garden of Allah restaurant in Seattle. It was purchased by Alden Bice of Seattle in 1953. Mr. Bice was also the owner of the Raymond Theatre 2/5 Wurlitzer during the time it was removed from the theatre.

Finding this doll head on OnlineAuction.com I decided to research it to find out the era it was made. Below is what I found so far.
Minerva Tin Doll Heads Regain Popularity with Collectors
Metal headed dolls were made in Germany from 1888 through the 1930s. They were meant to be more durable than the bisque/china headed dolls but many have not survived well, having a tendency for the paint to chip and crack or the head to rust. The heads were molded from a sheet of tin (or metal) and were usually found on kid leather or all cloth bodies. Due to age and use, the bodies of the dolls did not “outlive” the tin heads, which is why it is rare to find a full doll ~ tin head and body intact.
The most familiar name relating to tin head dolls is Minerva. They were manufactured in Germany from 1894 through the early 1930s by Buschow & Beck, a German company. The tin heads were sold separate from bodies, advertised in many old catalogues. Tin or metal head Minerva dolls were designed with painted hair, painted eyes, glass eyes and some with mohair wigs. There was also a sleep eye version.
Sears, Roebuck and Company, the famous mail-order house, offered in the early 1900’s an extensive toy line which included both complete dolls and Minerva doll heads ready to be sewn onto a handmade body. Their 1902 catalogue advertised Minerva doll heads made of painted sheet metal. The heads were described as indestructible, as metal was more durable than the popular bisque or china and came in a number of sizes. The most common size Minerva head measured 4.25 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide at the shoulders.
In the 1910 Sears catalog, a doll with the Minerva tin head. This doll was no doubt bought complete and fully dressed. Her finely detailed sheet-metal head is sewn onto a kid body stuffed with sawdust. She was dressed in a petticoat decorated with lace and embroidery sewn by machine, which helped to lower the cost of production.
It is only recently that doll collectors have started to appreciate the unique quality of these simple tin or metal head doll children. Many collect just the Minerva tin doll heads and display them on a shelf. Years ago they were on the bottom of the list of desirable dolls, now they have a firm position in the history of doll making.

Notes*
Nosey – A Jonthay Joymaker, 166 Duane St, New York City. Composition toy is in the original wooden box. His name is “NOSEY” and he is a spin-off of from Pinocchio. He is part of a set of toys produce by Jonthay. The set includes Nosey, Earsley and Tailsey. NOSEY is made of composition and stands 10 inches tall. He has a spring in his lower body that allows him to POP out of the box. Nosey is in very nice condition with minor crazing, and only a minor amount of paint wear to the top of his head. The box is wooden and is 5 3/4 inches tall when closed. There are graphics on all sides. There is a metal button on the front that when pushed, allows Nosey to POP out of the box, just like a Jack-in-the-box. The side of the box describing Nosey reads- When Nosey Tells A Falsehood His Nose Grows Very Tall. When He’s Good and Tells The Truth It Will of Course Get Small! Vintage 1940s, scarce toy in very nice overall condition. source …http://www.tias.com/102/PictPage/1922505419.html

The Victorian Era spanned Queen Victoria’s rule of England from 1837 until 1901. During this time, a middle class began to emerge, sparking a demand for jewelry in the mass market. The era is usually divided into several subsections: the Romantic Period from 1837 to 1861, the Grand Period from 1861 to 1880, and the Aesthetic Period from 1880 to 1901
This important Irish cabinet was most likely built by a man named Egan, who was a cabinet maker and inlayer, who kept an establishment at Main Street in Killarney Ireland. He was best known for his Eagles and Stags which were his favorite figures.
The cabinet is 42″ tall and 32″ wide. The sloping top when raised discloses six small drawers and there is a secret drawer below. The two doors when open show five large drawers, each drawer depicting a different building. These buildings are: Muckross Abbey, Ross Castle, the ruins of Innisfallen Island and the roofless church of Aghadoe. On the top of the cabinet there is a back splash with an inlaid picture of a Stag, an eagle and a harp with crown. Under the lid of the cabinet is an inlaid picture of a harp.
The cabinet is built from woods from Killarney, Arbutus woods; yew, holly, and bog oak.
The thatched cottage on the top of the cabinet is Glena Cottage. Queen Victoria visited the cottage which burnt down in 1916. On the side of the cabinet is an inlaid picture of a large house that has been identified as Killarney House. The house was the residence of the Earl of Kenmare, where Queen Victoria was entertained in 1861.
*Note paper is from the Irish Press dated November 25, 1953
But “Country Life” is not exclusively English, it touches Scotland and Wales and Ireland. In last week’s issue, for instance, there is a query from a reader writing from England who possesses what he calls a “Kilarney cabinet.” He thinks his family acquired it about 1850. It is obviously from its photograph a beautiful piece of craftsmanship about four feet high by three wide. When its doors are opened six medallions are to be seen representing among other places, Muckross Abbey, Ross castle, ruins on Innis fallen and the ancient church at Aghadoe. The owner thought that the medallion of a cottage was of a cottage at Blarney Castle but the Editor says “no” and that it is a cottage at Killarney Known as the “The Countess’s Cottage.” He states that the cabinet is made of arbutus wood, that it was probably made to order and that only one other in known to exist. He quotes Mr. and Mrs. S.C Hall as noticing four such wood carvers in Killarney in 1843: only one exist now. I suppose he is referring to the one who has his workshop in the Gap. I saw his work a year or two ago. By Lennox Robinson 1953
