LOCAL “LITTLE THEATRE” TO SHOW NOVEL FILMS (Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, December 9, 1938)
The Little Theatre, a motion picture playhouse dedicated to the showing of outstanding film attractions made in this country, England and the European continent, opened here this week on N. Third street, just south of Wisconsin avenue. Like its counterparts the country over, the Little Theatre, established in the former Garden Theatre, will show only single features with the balance of the program composed of specially selected short subjects and latest news releases.
That Mighty WurliTizer Theater Pipe Organ, Opus 514, 2/9, manuals/ranks, keyboards/sets of pipes was shipped the 637 miles from the North Tonawanda factory on February 25, 1925. It had a curved console, 657 pipes, 5 tuned percussions and 15 traps (sound effects and percussions, also called the toy counter) . Last I Know it was in was in storage in Milwaukee and was “OK”. Can anyone shed anymore light on this magnificent instrument?
“Gee Dad, it was a WurliTizer!”
