Comments (0) Best Mighty Wurlitzer - 2005

BROOKLYN PARAMOUNT THEATRE

Survivor of the Mad Bomber's 1956 explosions and the Alan Freed­ produced Chuck Berry­Buddy Holly revue the following year, 1928 cinema jewel the BROOKLYN PARAMOUNT THEATRE still holds the world-renowned Wurlitzer Opus 1984 that accompanied Long Island University's basketball games with everything from glockenspiel to machine guns, rising majestic and dreamlike for pre-game and halftime performances.
