THE CATOE PAGE
We are the Chicago Area Theatre Organ Enthusisasts, Inc.
Our goals to preserve theatre organs and to encourage performance on them
are culminated by our shows, which have been enjoyed by thousands of
persons.
We are the oldest and largest theatre organ club in Chicago, with the most
theatre organs to its credit, restored, and many still playing in their original
theatre locations.
The Chicago's Theatre famous landmark WurliTzer is just one of many
instruments that has benefited from CATOE contributions. At present
CATOE owns a theatre instrument, playing and being enjoyed in the
Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove.
Membership in CATOE brings you the opportunity and, if you desire, to PLAY
theatre pipe organs. It also entitles you to concert tickets at a discount; access
to hard to find records and books; and finally the VOX CATOE, the monthy club
publication and newsletter. You'll also have opportunities for weekend CATOE
trips to visit other theatre organ clubs, and best of all, be informed of future
theatre organ events of both CATOE and other organ groups.

STADIUM AND ITS BARTON PIPE ORGAN ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
This photo is from a
CATOE flyer trying to
promote landmark status for the Stadium and its pipe organ. Unfortunately the effort did not succed and most of the instrument was destroyed in a warehouse fire while in storage.
