The First Nickelodeon
By Jim Crank

Tally's Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles also boasted of a symphonic
pipe organ specifically for accompanying the pictures.  It was a
four-manual 47-rank Murray M. Harris instrument, which I believe
out-ranked everyone until the Roxy in New York City went up.

Question: What ocean liner first had a sit-down theater for showing
motion pictures?  Not plunking down some portable projector on a table,
but a real theater for showing films.
