The pipe organ advertised on the marquee was installed by Hinners Organ Company of Perkin, Illinois in 1910. Hinners manufactured over 3,000 instruments, but less than 50 were installed in theatres, most of those in Illinois. A list of theatre installations shows this organ had 5 ranks, but did not supply information on the console.

The picture currently on the overview page can be dated to 1914, the year the movie on the marquee (Little Gray Lady) was released.
