Helen Crawford plays Butterflies in the Rain in 1936, probably using the 4/21 Wurlitzer at the Paramouint Studio NYC.  This is part of the soundtrack of a file in which she and Jesse play conjoined 30-manual skeleton consoles, probably the pair built for the Crawfords and despatched from the Wurlitzer factory on 29 December 1933 and 6 January 1934 to be hitched up to existing organ installations at which the touring Crawfords were to play duets.  Hence it cannot be stated with certainty that the 4/21 studio organ was heard in the film.

Theatre organ playing at it best - Lew Williams performs at the Wurlitzer at Organ Stop, Phoenix Arizona. 

Wade Bray, the recording engineer, captured one of the best recordings I've ever heard of a theatre organ, and transfer to disk is great quality.  This copy was professionally cleaned to remove the pressing solution that is often left behind in the grooves. The result is a full bass range that wasn't there before.
