I’m also not yet sure what organ was installed in the Casino here.
The above comments suggest that it might have been a photoplayer of some kind, if the orchestra pit was large enough, and the instrument was located in the pit.
Anybody have any more info on this? :)
How do I create a new theatre listing on here? According to a listing here in the “Encyclopedia of the American Theatre Organ” (pg. 631), there was an “Iris Theatre” in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, with a two-manual Smith theatre organ installed at some point.
No other details are given in the listing (such as # of ranks of the organ, date, or any blower info etc).
As this is the only old theatre I can find currently listed for the town/city of Vandergrift, I’m putting this here for right now. I know nothing else about the Iris, but if I had a little more free time might do research on it.
Exactly, Ken. Thanks for your courteous understanding.
I get it-you’re ensuring that you get the e-mail notifications. I was waiting for the new link to something, until I figured out what you meant.
Renewing link.
The Casino Theatre during the 1940’s seated 780 people.
The new website is now open. The above link will direct you there.
