Replying to Laney:

Kilgen company history indicates that there was a three-manual five-rank instrument installed in the theater in 1927. After the theater closed the instrument was incorporated into a church organ in the Miramar district built by Aizpuru in the 50’s. I saw the organ in 2003 and was curious about the Kilgen chest magnets visible in the chancel organ. Given the size of the Kilgen it’s almost certain that the pipes were used only for the chancel organ, though the ornately carved console in the gallery probably came from the theater as well.
