Lloyd Collins (1919-2011), a long time house organist of the Fargo Theatre and charter member of the Red River Theatre Organ Society (RRTOS), produced this recording of himself playing at the Fargo Theatre around 1985-1990.
At the time this recording took place, the Fargo Theatre's original 2/7 Style E X Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ had been expanded to 3/15 instrument. The new 3-manual console was a reconditioned church Wurlitzer console purchased from First Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, SD by the RRTOS and installed in the theatre in 1979. The organ has been expanded over the years and the current instrument is a 4/32 Wurlitzer.
Organized in 1965 as a chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society, the Red River Theatre Organ Society (RRTOS) has produced Silent Movie Night since November, 1974, in addition to other programming throughout the year and is centered in the community of Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN.
