This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in David Junchen's The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, An Illustrated History p. 642.
-- The Wurlitzer company records show opus 800, a stock, 5-rank residential model, was installed at the Savoy in May 1925, but moved to a Philadelphia residence just a month later. Maybe this was a demonstration for the theatre - in hopes that it would lead to a sale. (It didn't.) One source says the organ was repossessed from the Savoy, but that seems unlikely in only a month's time.
