A hero's welcome at Dulles

It was at the Alexandra
Roller Rink--of all places
and Jimmy was showing off

Soon we heard the shrill

The organ, one Of the larg-
est WurIitzers, was made for
the Rockefeller Center Thea
ter mot the Music Hall) In
New York, and cost $4,000.
When the theater was torn
down in 1852 the organ was
purchased by DR.. Warren
Phillips of Harrisburg, Pa.
He had a large home but
1t had to be enlarged for this
organ. He had his basement
excavated to double depth
for the pipes and placed the
console in the living room.
The music rose into the room
through vents in the floor.
Three years ago he decided
to move and Jimmy Boyce
decided to buy the organ on
his own account.
(The organ enthusiasts
have q national publication
which lists every surviving
Wurlitzer.)
Jimmy had obtained per-
mission to install it in the
rink where he plays an Or

THE ORGAN HAS FOUR

IT TOOK TWO WEEKS to
dismantle the organ. Jimmy
got some volunteer help
from his pupils (he teaches
the organ by day. and from
his fellow members in ATOE
american Theater Organ
Enthusiasts).
Then he rented a drive-it-

trips to Harrisburg over q

bring the instrument to

1t was decided to put the

This meant extending the
