Mr. Wurlitzer was born on December 7, 1883 and was the youngest son of Rudolph Wurlitzer. At that time the Farny Wurlitzer headquarters were in Cincin­ nati, Ohio. In 1908 the large factory in North Tonawanda, N.Y. was built. This complex was destined to become world famous as the producer of the mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ. Famy Wurlitzer was placed in charge of the North Tonawanda plant. Upon hearing a Robert Hope-Jones organ in Buffalo and learning of the financial difficulties of the Hope-Jones Company, Famy arranged to purchase the assets and thereby brought Jones into the Wur­ litzer Company. Young Mr. Wurlitzer's foresight and the unique pipe organ developed by Hope-Jones were com­ bined to give the world the most famous name in all the years of pipe organ history. Famy Wurlitzer was in charge of the North Tonawanda plant throughout the years of pipe organ construction. His devotion to the king of instruments brought about his keen interest in the affairs of ATOS. He was a Charter "Tiny" James, Grant Whitcomb, Mr. Member and our National Board voted Wurlitzer, and Marvin Korinke at the ATOE him Honorary Member for the year Melody Fair in 1964. 1960.

Shortly thereafter, Nurse Taravella recognizing Mr. Wurlitzer's rapid de­ cline, arranged for his earlier than usual return to Buffalo, New York. His passing came quietly during the early morning of May sixth. He has left us with the legacy of a sound that will never be surpassed, the mighty Wur­ litzer pipe organ. □ JUNE, 1972 by John Muri As one reads the articles in theatre one doesn't need it if one can read organ publications one is impressed music. with the fact that men dominate the When she was asked to play the field almost entirely, even though the­ Circle Wurlitzer in 1921, she took a atre-organ work in the silent-picture crash course in organ and was an days was done to a great extent by instant success.

  • Organist-Led Community Singing in the American Picture Palace, 1925–1933 Esther Marie Morgan-Ellis 2013
    ABSTRACT Organist-Led Community Singing in the American Picture Palace, 1925–1933 Esther Marie Morgan-Ellis 2013 uring the 1920s, most urban Americans participated in community D singing at least once a week. They did so at the local picture palace, a multimedia venue that combined motion pictures with live entertain- ment. These stately theaters, found in cities across the nation after 1913, represented the cultural acceptance of motion pictures as a form of entertainment suitable for the middle class. Since 1905, films exhibited in urban nickelodeon theaters had been attracting a working-class audience. To counteract negative associations between the motion picture and its rough clientele, picture-palace exhibitors offered their patrons every luxury, including air conditioning, comfortable lounges, glamorous décor, and complimentary child care. Individual theaters replicated the architecture and ornamentation of famous palaces, opera houses, and hotels, while the attentive service made visitors feel like European nobility. Among the luxuries in store for the visitor was a diverse program of live enter- tainment, including an overture, an organ solo, and a stage show. The overture was presented by the house orchestra, while the stage show featured guest artists and local favorites, most of whom performed in costume before an elaborate set. Audience Abstract singing was sometimes led by stage performers or band leaders, or by sing-along films (popular throughout the ’20s and ’30s). Most of the time, however, community singing was led by the organist. The term “organ solo” is the trade designation for the portion of the show over which the organist had complete control.

  • Ce Qu'il Y a De Plus Profond Dans L'homme, C'est La Peau∗ (L'idée Fixe
    Ce qu’il y a de plus profond dans l’homme, c’est la peau∗ (L’idée fixe, Paul Valery) ∗ O que há de mais profundo no homem é a pele. 4 Tirando a pele dos body mods: por dentro da movimentação, a movimentação por dentro Neste capítulo é traçado um quadro geral por meio do qual se delineia o panorama underground da subcultura da BM, no âmbito das novas dimensões e potencialidades que o corpo pode alcançar no universo contemporâneo da cultura corporal. A abordagem gira em torno da incorporação dos valores individualistas, “cujo vetor impulsiona a busca pelo singular enquanto uma exigência imperativa manifesta em um discurso de valorização da autonomia dos sujeitos” (COUTINHO, 2004:15). As linhas que contornam o quadro aqui apresentado são traçadas a partir dos dados coletados através de um trabalho etnográfico realizado na cidade de São Paulo com os integrantes da BM, durante aproximadamente três anos. O eixo converge sobre as práticas e discursos promovidos pelos body mods paulistas que adotam uma postura política de vanguarda em relação a BM, conforme já explicado anteriormente. Fundamentam-se, assim, no princípio filosófico da autonomia dos corpos segundo uma perspectiva sócio-antropológica desnaturalizante do corpo. Impulsionados pelas práticas oferecidas pela BM, os body mods paulistas atuam como bricoleurs. Apropriando-se dos materiais que estão ao alcance, reinventam aparência física, a partir de projetos autorais. Nesse sentido, a posse do saber biomédico e das biotecnologias médicas é feita com o objetivo explícito de questionar social e politicamente os processos de normatização do corpo. Logo, as tecnologias fomentam no sujeito, segundo Pitts 129 (2003:13), o sentimento de poder de ação simbólica sobre o próprio corpo e sua origem, à medida que promove a sua customização radical.

  • General Comments
    Specific Comments from AGO Members [Note: Space was provided at the end of the long-range planning surveys for respondents to add comments. We have arranged these anonymous responses in random order by category. Several comments that seemed to fit into multiple categories were divided accordingly. Comments from the surveys of lapsed members and national leaders, included at the end of this document, are not divided by category, but are arranged in roughly the same order by topic. In addition, comments that were specifically directed toward one AGO officer or committee were placed in a separate document (“Comments for Committees”) and forwarded to the appropriate official for action. Comments have been lightly edited for spelling and grammar. — Long-Range Planning Task Force.] General Culture I love my AGO. I donate annually, and I read my TAO cover to cover. I fear that we are too cloistered, and are relevant to ourselves only. We must make the leap to introduce ourselves to the greater outside world as an exciting source of music. We must be kind to the Miss Susies while still insisting on high musicianship. We must not be defined as religion-only oriented, while demanding respect from seminaries. We must not be ashamed of being smart and capable, but also be able “to work and play well with others,” which may mean choking on a sappy anthem from time to time. We have to step up to the plate and forge our new place in this heathen society that does not value culture and education. We must make ourselves irresistible to those who have no trouble resisting us right now.

    The Simonton Literary Prize was established in honour if Richard Simonton who was a founder of the American Theater Organ Enthusiasts, which eventually became known as the American Theatre Organ Society (A.T.O.S.) The purpose of the prize is to encourage and reward original research and writing in the area of theatre organ history, restoration and conversation. The work of Don Hyde, chairman of the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust, on the new research into Hope-Jones and the people he has made contact with has entered new grounds in the history associated with theatre organs This, plus a little bit of arm twisting resulted in Don writing this paper which was submitted for the Simonton prize in 2007. The prize was awarded to Don Hyde at the American Theatre Organ Society Convention in New York in 2007. The purpose of this paper is to record the recent research that has been carried out into the world of Robert Hope-Jones and the people who lived and worked in his environment and whom he met during the course of some of the work he did during his organ manufacturing time in Great Britain before he emigrated to the United States. The Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust has been troubled for some time that almost all of the original pipe organs built in Britain by Hope- Jones have been totally rebuilt, dramatically modified over the years by various organ builders, or have been scrapped. Since its foundation in 1968 the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust has been acutely aware of its close proximity to the birthplace of Robert Hope-Jones and to the area at Birkenhead on the Wirral in Cheshire where he started his ground breaking work on pipe organs.
