The Madrona Garden Theatre had a 2/5 Smith-Geneva organ installed in 1924. Genevas were quite rare in the Pacific Northwest. Eddie Zollman played at the theatre in 1927.   The organ was removed from the theatre by Balcom & Vaughan in 1931 and installed by subcontractor J. Riley Chase of Spokane in the residence of Dr. Frank Robinson in Moscow, Idaho. Current status is unknown.   The theatre was later renamed, simply, the "Madrona."
