  • Rod Blackmore's
    Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS New South Wales section Best known location: Penn Hughes residence Bexley Composite Christie/WurliTzer theatre organ 2 manuals (later 4 manuals) 16 ranks now substantially incorporated into the Capri theatre 4/29 theatre organ, Goodwood, Adelaide, South Australia Jack Penn Hughes originated from South Australia and was a professional theatre organist throughout the 1930s- 1940s until the late 1950s featuring at many organs reviewed in this series, particularly in Sydney but also in New Zealand. He was also known as the “singing organist”. His last theatre residence was at the Plaza theatre, Sydney. Despite his musical talents, many found him to be personally irascible, and in his dealings with redundant theatre organs he bordered on the unconscionable. In all some 12 organs were acquired by him and sold on to others, it being claimed that the purchasers did not always receive the organs they expected, Hughes having retained the best features for himself. He has also been identified in the late 1930s with involvement in the installation of instruments in theatres, eg the Astra theatre, Parramatta, and the Astra theatre, Drummoyne. In about 1957 Hughes bought the 2/10 Christie organ from the Empire (later St. James) theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand, and in 1959 he acquired the 2/8 WurliTzer organ (opus #748) previously in the Plaza theatre, Sydney. These two organs formed the basis of his residence organ, initially utilising the Empire Christie console. Later, Hughes acquired the 4 manual secondary console previously installed with the WurliTzer organ (opus #1987) of the State theatre, Melbourne, Victoria, and connected it to his residence organ.

  • Entertaining the Classes
    Entertaining the Classes An archaeological investigation of historic cinemas in Metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia, and their development in relation to social class, 1896-1949 Antoinette Hennessy This thesis is subitted as partial requirement for the degree in Master of Cultural Heritage Management, Department of Archaeology, Flinders University November 2013 Declaration I certify that this thesis does not incorporate, without acknowledgment, any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Name: Signature: Date: i Abstract This research analyses the influence of social class on the development of cinemas in metropolitan Adelaide during the period between 1908 to 1949 using a six-point business strategy (location, building, services, programming, airconditioning/ventilation and affordability), relating to the development of effective businesses. It assesses the validity of two competing theories of cinema histories, using a case study of metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia. The long-standing ‘embourgeoisement’ theory argued that cinemas and cinema- going underwent a gentrification process in which cinema proprietors gradually shifted their target demographic towards the wealthier middle classes, and made changes to venues according to middle class tastes and financial capabilities. During the 1970s, this position was questioned by proponents of the ‘revisionist’ theory, which argued that early film audiences were likely to be a mixture of class demographics, including the working, middle and wealthy classes. The results from this study largely supported the revisionist theory of early cinema development in Adelaide, South Australia.

  • The RTOS Story
    The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations.

  • Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen
    Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen Introduction Until the 1980s, the community of musical scholars in general regarded film music-and especially music for the silent films-as insignificant and uninteresting. Film music, it seemed, was utili­ tarian, commercial, trite, and manipulative. Moreover, because it was film music rather than film music, it could not claim the musical integrity required of artworks worthy of study. If film music in general was denigrated, the theatre organ was regarded in serious musical circles as a particular aberration, not only because of the type of music it was intended to play but also because it represented the exact opposite of the characteristics espoused by the Orgelbewegung of the twentieth century. To make matters worse, many of the grand old motion picture theatres were torn down in the fifties and sixties, their music libraries and theatre organs sold off piecemeal or destroyed. With a few obvious exceptions (such as the installation at Radio City Music Hall in New (c) 1991 Indiana Theory Review 82 Indiana Theory Review Vol. 11 York Cityl), it became increasingly difficult to hear a theatre organ in anything like its original acoustic setting. The theatre organ might have disappeared altogether under the depredations of time and changing taste had it not been for groups of amateurs that restored and maintained some of the instruments in theatres or purchased and installed them in other locations. The American Association of Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (now American Theatre Organ Society [ATOS]) was established on 8 February 1955,2 and by 1962, there were thirteen chapters spread across the country.
