2023-05-03 - From Cinema Treasures website: The Meteor Theater was designed and constructed by Mr. Harry Kelley at a cost of about $30,000. Mr. Kelley believed theater goers loved good music, so one of his heaviest expenses was the Barton *Silver-Toned* pipe organ with 2 manuals and 3 ranks, which was installed at a cost of $6,000. It was built especially for the Meteor Theater and was the same make as the one in the Palace Theatre in Fayetteville, AR. The Barton pipe organ has been refurbished and is now at the Presbyterian church in Bentonville. -George W JENISTA
