Additionally, Steve Bartley listed this website as a source of information: http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/5587.<br> Article as it appeared in the Sun Paper.<br>"As the installation of the new $50,000 four manual orchestral organ in the Rivoli Theater has been completed, that playhouse will reopen to the public tomorrow. For the next two weeks Guy L. Wonders, the manager, has arranged to have a demonstator at the Rivoli ro play the organ, and four recitals will be given daily. Besides this, the Rivoli Orchestra, under the direction of Felice Iula, will play the afternoon as well as evening performances. Practically every musical instrument used in brass bands and string orchestras is represented on this organ and it reproduces the human voice with marvolous exactness. There are two organ rooms, one located on the left and the other on the right of the proscenium arch. These rooms are faced with soundingboards which force the sounds out into the auditorium. The air current for the organ is supplied by a rotary fan blower on a shaft attached to a seven-horsepower generator furnishing the electric current. <br><br>From the website concerning the Baltimore Rivoli Theater- Closed in 1954, the building was demolished in 1955, but left the facades. In 1999 the facades were demolished. -Database Manager
