Cinema, December 20, 1967-1987. Had a Grand Opening as a Roadshow Theater at 8 p.m., December 20,1967 with, THE BIBLE: IN THE BEGINNING…, wonder if it was in 70mm, I’m sure it wasn’t in Dimension 150.

Now a live theatre.
The Kilgen Organ Company of Chicago, about 160 miles from Madison, made about 190 Theater Pipe Organs. In 1930 they installed a Kilgen Theater Pipe Organ in the Eastwood Theatre. It was Opus 4420, a 2/8 manual/rank, keyboards/sets of pipes, Special. Anyone know what happened to the organ?
Dan Barton’s Barton Organ Company of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, about 100 miles from Madison, made about 250 Theater Pipe Organs, making it the 5th largest builder of Theater Pipe Organs. Old records show they installed an organ in the Eastwood in 1923? Is it possible this old record is a mistake, or did the theatre end up not opening for 7 years or did it open, close and then reopen? What happened to this organ?
1967-1969 H.B. Meiselman Theatres, of Charlotte, N.C., H.B. Meiselman, President & Gen. Mgr. In 1967 they had 26 theaters in Florida, Georiga, North Carolina and South Carolina.
As Joe mentioned a Robert-Morton Pipe Organ was installed in 1924. This was a 2 Manual (keyboards) with a Blower Serial Number 13354. Records show another Robert-Morton Pipe Organ was installed in 1925 with Blower Serial Number 18308! Wonder if this was really done or if the records are messed up. Anyone know what happened to the organs?
