wolfgirl, “Where’s The Beef?” I didn’t know I had one! Good Grief, Calm Down.
Turns out I did read EVER WORD about the Capitol in the VINDICATOR you so kindly added (not an easy task, I even had to jump back to page 1). How do you think I found out the info I added? The McMahom Piano Co. ad on the bottom right of, I think, page 14 mentions that the organ was being made at the Van Nuys, California factory and would be installed in the Fall.
I then went to this sight to get more info on the organ.
In State type in OH, in City type in YOUNGSTOWN, click on Search.
Sorry, I just do not see any organ at the Capitol and that’s all I could find out not being in Youngstown. If you can find anything else out please let us know.
While I got the list of Youngstown Organs, I’ll try to add their info to their theaters.

The Steinway Duo-Art Repoducing Grand Piano Style “O' cost $3,800.
The Robert Morton Pipe Organ was being made at the Robert Morton Factory in Van Nuys, California and was not in the Capital Theater for the February opening, but was to be installed in the Fall. In checking old organ records for Youngstown I could find no evidence that the organ ever was installed. Anyone know anything about this?
Found an address of 264 East Railroad Avenue, does anyone know which address is correct?
Open ~1935? Can anyone verify the exact date?

I question it being a Quonset Hut. The U.S. Navy didn’t start to develop the Quonset Hut untill 1941 at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. This theater was alredy 10 years old!
There is a BIG Quonset Hut still standing on Main Street in Parshall.
