This 1920's era Tellers Kent organ is believed to be a New England area ubiquity in the sense that it is probably the only organ from that manufacturer installed in the area. The organ initially for accompaniment of silent movies, in the Winthrop, Massachusetts theater, and was removed during the introduction of the talking pictures to a church in suburban Boston (Medford, where it served the parishioners for many decades until that church purchased a replacement organ in the late 1970's.) It was then that the American Theater Organ Society {ATOS} of Greater Boston, of which a Mr. Paul Remond was a member, acquired the organ. In 1984, the Remond family moved to Wells River, Vermont. The organ was again disassembled and moved piece by piece in the back of a pick-up truck to the basement of our home in Wells River. It is here that the organ was to be reassembled yet again, but lung impairments and the illnesses of old age prevented that from ever being done.......and the Teller's Kent remained untouched and waiting for perhaps yet another moment of life, gathering it's dusts over yet another quarter of a century. It is upon the pending liquidation of a Family Trust in 2009 that one last effort was made to bring the old theater organ back to life again to someday play again in front of a theater audience as it originally did in the Roaring Twenties in Winthrop, Massachusetts.
