Sparrows, 1927

Sparrows, 1927
Before movies had sound, live music accompanied silent films in theaters. This 1927 newspaper ad touts the Heights Theater's "$30,000 Mighty Wurlitzer Organ" played by the "Little Irish Organist" Frank Gallagher during weekend showings of the film "Sparrows." In the movie, Mary Pickford (holding child) must save her fellow orphans from their caretaker, the evil Mr. Grimes. | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
