What would be really cool is to have theater locations show up in something like google maps. For example zoom to NYC and see where all the theaters are/were located.

Detroit, MI 48210
Tickets: $12.00 / $8.00 ages 12 and under
Many exciting things happening at the Senate. Volunteers have been hard at work painting, cleaning, refreshing, and much more. The Wurlitzer is sounding better than ever after recently being professionally releathered (including the electro-pneumatic relay !)
Help is always needed around the theater, especially before reopening day May 15. To become a volunteer worker, donate financially via paypal, or donate supplies visit the Detroit Theater Organ Society website. (Email: , Office phone number: 313-894-0850)
Sure had a great time at the Wonder Morton organ shows. A very happy and relaxing weekend trip. Drove all the way from Ohio. Can hardly wait to get back there again for another organ show.
Here are some pictures of the weekend’s events, Wonder Morton, Loew’s Theatre and people.
TonyM, Did your friend mention any possibility of the A&E show being released on DVD? Lets hope that enough people contact them about the real value of their show !!! This type of footage is so rare.
Dan, your interior pictures are totally amazing. I never would have guessed things looked like that from old black and white pictures or a car drive by. Super website !
There is a new CD just released that features Lee Erwin playing the Robert-Morton Theatre Organs at Loew’s 175th and Loew’s Kings. The Kings Wonder Morton recording on the CD is of the organ’s farewell concert. More info at http://www.gstos.org/TheWondersOfItAll.htm

The Paradise Robert-Morton theatre pipe organ is being intalled in Loew’s Jersey by the Garden State Theatre Organ Society. Details at http://www.gstos.org/wonder.htm
When it plays for a concert, hopefully within 1-2 years, it will sure uncover any loose plaster. A huge sound !!! Most of the organ has been installed and some of it is already playing if you operate it from within the chamber.
