I saw a couple of movies there. There was no balcony. The only balcony I know of in neighborhood theatres in Columbus was one of the incarnations of the Linden.

Too bad this couldn’t have been saved somehow. C. Howard Crane was a noted theater architect. (Assuming there can’t be two of them). Wish there were pictures of the auditorium.

Architected by C. Howard Crane for the James Amusement Circuit.

According to the TheatreOrgans.com Searchable Opus List Database,

the Eastern Theatre had a two manual, 12 rank Moller organ, opus 2942, installed in 1920 at the cost of $6100.00. Actually, this was a rebuild of an existing “Winder” (sic as per website) organ. I don’t know what happened to this instrument.

Maybe someone else on here does?
