The organ is made up of the Warren Organs from the Starland and Capitol in Winnipeg, the Capitol Ottawa (bits) and a Robert Morton from Glendale CA
These are updated links to the pictures of the theatre as it was in 1930 originally posted by KenRoe on September 2, 2007:

Contrary to the statement in the opening paragraph, the organ in the O'Brien Theatre is not the only working theatre organ installed in a vintage theatre in Canada. The Wurlitzer organ in the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver BC holds that distinction and is also the only organ still in it’s original location. The organ in the O'Brien was made up from salvaged parts from at least three organs that had been originally installed elsewhere and was installed many years after the theatre was built.
