Garden Theatre organ becomes Burton's lifelong legacy
Howard Burton 78 works alone to reinstall a 1928 Kilgen theater organ in Marion's Garden Theatre, wiring 657 pipes and a solid state relay system. The project marks a 60 year devotion to theater organ music, aiming to revive interest in the art through silent-movie accompaniment and future concerts. Burton will own the equipment with Wayne Engle holding first rights of purchase.
