The organ was most likely removed from the theater during it’s 1970’s facelift…

I agree that classics on the big screen would be wonderful, but between rental rates and low-turn out they prove no profit. Since the Harwan is not a non-profit organization yet I doubt a film series will be realistically possible. I believe the new incarnation will be for small shows and celebrity performers, as that was the plan about a year ago. Shameless plug: I’ll be screening some classics outdoors on an 8 foot screen this summer as part of “The Lawn-Chair Drive In” in Northern Liberties park, Philadelphia, they’ll be screened off of 16mm film prints complete with cartoons etc… No admission costs!

The Harwan is indeed being RESTORED and REMODLED as we speak!. In not to short a time it will be re-opening with celebrity entertainers, a classic film series, and both traveling and original stage productions. The inside may have been an eyesore before but it isn’t anymore. Since I’m helping a bit with the project I’ll let you know when the grand-reopening will be.
