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 Senate Theater Reopening & Pops Concert featuring Jelani Eddington

A video with scenes from the movie pre-show a few weeks ago. The super organ is shown too filling the whole theatre with music.

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.

Do the blueprints show anything about an elevator? I thought I saw one in there someplace once.

How did the movies turn out this weekend? Sounded like lots of good films. The Red Balloon is always fun.

The link in the last sentence of the article above is not right.

The correct link to the Garden State Theatre Organ Society website is http://www.gstos.org/

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 !

It sure would be great if A&E would release this on DVD.

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.
