Identified through online information from William Dunklin. -- In the late 1920's Loew's built 5 super-palace style theatres billed as their "Wonder Theatres" in the New York area. The Valencia was one of these. The wonder theatres each had a nearly identical IV/23 Robert-Morton "wonder organ." The Valencia's organ was removed in 1966 and, with some alterations, now resides in the Balboa Theatre in San Diego CA.
