Unknown Builder
1974

The Edina Ciceros was located at 7101 France Ave., inside the Leisure Lane shopping mall. It was owned by Dick and Bonnie Shelley. The restaurant probably opened in 1974, since a flier says that “Beulah,” the “Mighty Pizza Organ,” had been installed there at that time.

Beulah was built in 1930 by the Barton Organ Company of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to accompany silent films and provide solo entertainment between film performances. Beulah was originally installed in the Paramount Theater in Hamilton, Ohio. She was equipped with special effects, 6 tuned percussion instruments, and 1,100 pipes to simulate orchestral sound and produce pure, physical, unamplified sounds which range from bluegrass fiddles to marching bands. As talking pictures came on the scene in 1930 (just as Beulah was built), many of these pipe organs were discarded and only a handful survived.

Mike Grandchamp was the organist.
