Thanks for the response, Joe! I acquired the organ in 1958 from
the person who took it out of the theatre after WW II. Pipes
in the Robert-Morton organ, built in Van Nuys, CA were dated
March of 1925. I understand the theatre was part of the FOX
chain at that time.

I found a site on the Long Beach Pike, showing the Strand theatre.
My grandparents and great-grandparents are buried in the
Pioneer Cemetery in Long Beach where my mother and older brother
were born.
