 The theatre is also known for its grand Wurlitzer pipe organ . At the time it was installed it was known as “ The Mighty Wurlitzer ” and could imitate the instruments of an orchestra . Jesse Crawford , a noted Theatre Organ performer , is attributed as the person who " was responsible for the design and choice of sounds " . The organ came from Wurlitzer 's North Tonawanda Barrel Organ Factory in July 1921 with " four manuals and 26 ranks of pipes @-@ Opus 434 " . The American Theatre Organ Society restored the organ in 1970 , which had expanded the organ from 26 to 29 ranks by that time . It is one of the oldest Mighty <unk> still in existence .
