Notes

2007-02-01 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The theatre was also known as the Audion, State, and Met Theatres. The organ was removed from the theatre and reinstalled by Balcom and Vaughan in 1935 in the new Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. It was purchased ca. 1959 by Balcom and Vaughan and removed to make way for a new Aeolian-Skinner. 15 ranks of the Kimball became a new 2/15 for St. Michael's Lutheran in Portland, Oregon. The remainder is presumed to have been parted-out and/or incorporated into other instruments. -Database Manager
