Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Regent Theatre on Jul 13, 2010 at 10:56 pm

The Regent Theater had a Mighty WurliTizer Theater Pipe Organ, Opus 1475. The 2 manual (keyboards)/8 rank (sets of pipes of the same kind) was shipped on 15 October 1926. In 1944 it was sold to Hutt Valley High School in Wellington, New Zealand. In 1969 it was sold to Lindsay Anderson of Wellington. He sold it to Hollywood Theater, Avondale-Les Stenersen, back in Auckland in 1978. In 1998 it was replaced with a 3 manual counsole and the 2 manual counsole was sold to Michael Woolf back in Wellington. Does anyone know if the Hollywood Theater still stands, is still in use and does the organ still work?

On the Regent,anyone have an address, more info or photos?
