A Wurlitzer theater organ opus 1381 style 235 was installed in the Frankford Theater on 7/3/1926.
One of the places I used to go to every Halloween. As a kid growing up in the K&A area of Philadelphia in the late 40s, I would go there to see “Frankenstein” or “Dracula”—usually “Frankenstein” every Halloween. I remember the theater had a balcony, and the frong of the theater was right on the street, the doors were all mirrored, as I recall.
The Frankford Theatre closed in 1955.
