Old Town Music Hall

Old Town Music Hall shows vintage films and presents concerts of jazz, ragtime, and popular music. Therefore, the theater organ suffered a sudden death.

Old Town Music Hall is a concept that started in 1958 by Bill Coffman and Bill Field with the purchase of the Mighty Wurlitzer from the Fox West Coast Theater in Long Beach CA. This concept became a reality in 1960 when this fully restored instrument was installed in a small studio in Los Angeles for the purpose of presenting organ concerts and silent films to public and private audiences. Due to

inadequate space the instrument was dismantled and stored. In November 1968 search for a new and suitable location resulted in its present home in the original El Segundo State Theater on Richmond Street. In Old Town Music Hall, you are in the 1920s before the advent of sound films and electronic instruments. Our programming is built around the theatrical productions of the 1920s when the theater organ was used to present accompaniment to silent films, perform incidental music for theater audiences as well as solo concerts. The WurliTzer Organ Company (located in North Tonawanda, up state New York) was the largest manufacturer of these instruments. When talking pictures entered the scene in 1929 live musicians were no longer needed. A revival on the part of collectors and hobbyists in the 1950s resurrected these instruments and brought them out of the theaters to be heard once again. But not until most of these instruments had been destroyed, damaged, vandalized or hauled away just to get rid of them -- or in some instances during World War II the organ pipes were melted down for scrap metal. Bill Coffman and Bill Field were already professional organists in 1958 when they entered into a long partnership which resulted in the birth of Old Town Music Hall. Their mechanical expertise has been useful in the restoration, maintenance and complete installation of this organ in El Segundo. Performances of theater organ concerts, silent film presentations, ragtime and jazz piano and turn-of-the-century orchestras are regularly presented. Old Town Music Hall is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is open to the public every weekend.

1922 Silent
With Live Accompaniment by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer
Introduction by Samantha Hale, granddaughter of Alan Hale One of the most lavish films of the silent era, this was a milestone in filmmaking due to its spectacular sets and daring stunts. Douglas Fairbanks as Robin Hood set the bar for swashbuckling heroes. Alan Hale plays Little John, and his popularity in the role allowed him to reprise the character in Errol Flynn's version. Robin Hood was the first film to receive a Hollywood premiere, opening the Egyptian Theatre in 1922.
