The original theatre organ from the Missouri Theatre is up for sale! It is a 3/7 Robert-Morton built in 1928 and is apparently mostly complete.
They only want about $4,750.00 which is really cheap!

It would be REALLY nice if someone in MO could buy the organ, restore it, and re-install it back in the theatre!
This is an August 2008 photo. It doesn’t look like the same building.

The Missouri Rockets (now the RCMH Rockettes) did not get their start at the Missouri Theatre in Columbia but at the Missouri Theatre in St. Louis.
