The original organ in the Loew's Jersey was removed in 1974. It was, however, one of five identical instruments, christened “Wonder Mortons”, that were built by the Morton Organ Company to be installed in five theatres that the Loew's company was building in the late 1920s. The Loew's Jersey was one of these five “Wonder Theatres.” Another was the Loew's Paradise in the Bronx. That Theatre's organ was also removed in 1974. That organ wound up in the possession of a private collector who stored it in a Chicago warehouse for some twenty years.

Then, in 1997 the Garden State Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society found the Paradise organ and managed to acquire it so that it could be put on permanent loan to the Loew's Jersey.

Since the Loew's new/old organ arrived with great fanfare in July 1997, volunteers, some pictured here, from the Garden State Theatre Organ Society have been rebuilding the organ's many wooden chambers and replacing miles of control cable. By 2002, they expect to have this Wonder Morton to be fully operational in this Wonder Theatre. Thanks to the wonderful Garden State Theatre Organ Society, who are in the prosses of restoring and installing this gem in the Loew's.
