Having abandoned Moller rather late in the game, Loew’s generally bought Robert Mortons for its largest projects, but Wurlitzer also got a piece of the action, mostly in the form of 3/13s, the same organ newly favored by the Orpheum circuit. The State’s organ was revived in 1963 by James Wingate and friends, but the presence of a balcony theatre made its regular use somewhat problematic. Later removed to a Georgia pizza parlor, it has been broken up. The console now controls the organ in Manual High School, Indianapolis.
