2016-01-04 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Scot Huntington, using information found in Wurlitzer factory opus list.<br><br>The 880-seat theater was built in 1886 as a stage-show Vaudeville house. Warner Bros. purchased the theater in 1937, substantially renovating the building- the Wurlitzer probably disappeared at this time. The organ was a stock-model Style B. The theater was twinned in 1982, and was renamed The Grand in 2004 after a change in ownership. -Database Manager
