Database Manager on November 15th, 2011:

Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- Loew's built 5 large theatres in the late 1920's billed as the "Wonder Theatres" in the New York area. Loew's Jersey, Loew's Paradise, Loew's 175th Street, Loew's Kings and Loew's Valencia. Each contained an almost identical Robert Morton IV/23 "Wonder Organ." The Wonder Organ originally installed at the Loew's Jersey was moved to the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. The Wonder Organ currently installed at the Loew's Jersey is the one built for the Loew's Paradise.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

Relocated to California after removal in 1970s.
