One of 3 original 5 manual Wurlitzer organs built, this 26 rank beast in the basement, lives in the Racine Wisconsin Home of DTOS Founder, Fred Hermes. Installed in 1926 in the Michigan Theatre, Detroit Michigan, the organ was removed and transplanted in 1956, when the theatre closed.
Fred makes announcements before an annual "Hermes Horrific" Halloween social.
With the 'ghost light'off, it's a bit scarry attempting to play this massive 5 manual console.
The basement Bijou is beautifully decorated with rescued ornaments from lost theatres. |
