It is the editors’ earnest hope that this volume, which is a forerunner of a series of motion picture publications, meets with the approval of the Motion Picture “ Fan” to whom it is dedicated.

  • Chicago, Chicago, That Toddlin' Town" Chicago May Have ''Toddled'' When Fred Fisher Wrote Those Lyrics in 1922, but for 840 Atosers It Certainly Didn't in 1985
    A R A G 0 N Chicago,Chicago that toddlin' town • •• ·1··.: .. .i]-·· .... • •. " I ,,. , :t•,• - - ~=--_:j ·7~ ..'-' '·? .. "Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town" Chicago may have ''toddled'' when Fred Fisher wrote those lyrics in 1922, but for 840 ATOSers it certainly didn't in 1985. After six days and nights crammed full of music, merriment, meetings and magical moments, there could be no doubt in anyone's mind that the thirtieth annual conclave of theatre organ lovers left an im­ pression of Chicago that was anything but ' 'toddlin' ''. "Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around." Our hosts did just that! They showed us pipe organs in sites that took us to Joliet, Waukegan, Hinsdale, Rockford and Lan­ sing as well as to all corners of the city and its suburbs. Add to this three' 'extra'' con­ certs, a brunch at the Bismarck Pavilion, three cocktail parties and a banquet in the Palmer House, seminars and socializing, and you have all the ingredients for Fisher's next line, "I love it!" '' Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago.'' There was no time for "blues'' in Chica­ go! Even waiting in the registration line on Saturday morning was a pleasure as friends met once again and began catching up on the past year's happenings. As the elegant lobby in the grand old Palmer House filled with conventioneers, music from a Hammond organ blended with the happy sounds of eager A TOSers waiting for the first busses to load for the special pre-glow events. One group went to hear Barbara Sellers at the WGN studio, while another went to Maine North High School to hear Jack Olander.
