According to Bowers' “Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments” page 551, there was a “American” theatre in High Point equipped with a Reproduco organ made by the Operators Piano Co. I could not find a page for the American, so I am putting this here for the time being.

A February 1976 article in the High Point Enterprise stated that in the early and mid 1970s the Towne ran heavily edited versions of adult films such as “Deep Throat” and “Devil in Miss Jones”.
