LobbyAccording to some accounts, the first movie theatre in the
United States to have an organ was the Dream Theatre
in Seattle, Washington. James Q. Clemmer opened the
Dream Theatre in a former bank lobby at First Avenue
 and Cherry Street.

The organ was later enlarged to three manuals.
 It was sold in 1914 to St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church
in Yakima where it remained until the church was razed in 1926.
The instrument then went to another church in Spokane,
 although augmented.
