Former
Senate Theatre Kimball Console controls the 3/28 Hinsdale Organ |

The
Hinsdale Theatre in Hinsdale, Illinois is the current home of the Owl Cinema
Organ Society's theatre pipe organ. At present the theatre is closed and
the future of the theatre and the organ are in question. Fortunately a
recently released CD preserves the magnificient sounds of this unusual
instrument. |

Don
Springer has been the resident organist at the Hinsdale pleasing theatre
goers with his excellent playing style before the movie. He recently released
a CD on this organ Called "Intermission Interlude" |

Jim
Glass, shown here with some of the big boys, has devoted his life to the
creation of this organ. |

Much
effort has been expended to select the best components for this organ.
The console is a Kimball from the Senate Theatre on Chicago's westside.
Unfortunately the rest of the Senate Kimball was lost when the Riverview
Roller Rink was destroyed by fire where the organ was in storage. The Hinsdale
organ contains pipework from the Trianon Ballroom and the Tivoli Theatre,
these venues located blocks apart at 63rd and Cottage Grove on Chicago's
southside. |
