Does anybody have knowledge or information on this theatre? It opened in November 1928 as the Broadway, It was owned by the Hopewell Amusement Co. for many years. Specifically, info on the organ. All the local newspaper mentioned was a "handsome $10,000 organ". Theatre organ home page doesn't list it. For the record, there is a listing for the Marcello Theatre in that city, that is not the same theatre as the Beacon. HELP!

During the 60's the Beacon Theatre was operated by Broumas Theatres
out of Maryland.Is there any mention of what the Opus # or maker, was on the organ?
