Did you know about theatre organs playing in cinemas

This wonderful wurlitzer organ is at an eatery in Mesa, Arizona. If I was going to America, which I'm not, I would love to see this. Watch how the organ drops below the floor at the end and note her feet playing on the footboard, there are 4 manuals (keyboards) as well and hundreds of stops and controls, more than enough to keep an organist happy.

I've put this clip up as it reminds me of my parents saying how at the larger cinemas a theatre organ would emerge from below the floor during the interval with the organist already playing it. And then disappear again!

It must have been quite something to see and hear!

I can remember this too!!

When I used to go Saturday morning pictures, the organ always came up, music playing and at the end sank down again.
