I know of a complete Wurlitzer 3 manual nine rank organ that is available if the Flynn is interested. The owner is very old and needs to get it moved as soon as possible.He grew old before he could complete his project. It is not assembled and would be a wonderful addition to the theater. It was originally sized for a 900 seat house so the unit could be compatible. the entire history of the unit is available. You must come to Virginia to move it.

I found a reference that the 1925 Wurlitzer organ (opus 1200, Style H sp) originally installed at the Majestic Theatre, Burlington VT was moved to the Flynn. The organ supposedly later moved to an unnamed convent in Burlington. Anyone else have details to add to this story?

1980 picture.Peter Sellers last movie.That is a keeper. I found out the FLYNN THEATRE was operated by MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE THEATRES Company in 1956.

You will enjoy his work.Wish i had the equipment to do something like that,cause I have the Theatre stuff.What Robin and Nick put on is a very small selection.I wrote Nick Twice and haven’t heard a word.

Tlsloews,if you get a chance go to my page and look up VINTAGE THEATRE ADS,this guy has got some great old ads to look at many of the movies we played in the 70’s.

I think this the FLYNN THEATRE that Exhibitor MERRILL JARVIS bought in 1972 for $150.000.He sold it in 1981.

I love the touch of having the two-sided attraction board rolled out onto the sidewalk in front of the theatre entrance. Was the “Flynn Space” carved from a portion of the original theatre or just a former storefront?

The Theatre Historical Society lists the opening date of the Flynn in Burlington as Nov. 26, 1930; designed by Mowll and Rand.

I went in last week to see the auditorium but it was closed. The folks in the ticket booth said I couldn’t take pics since it was closed for the summer and their next show would be in early August.
