By Louis Luberoff - Introduction by Bynum Petty. Louis Luberoff was M.P. Möller’s East Coast sales representative and super salesman. In the late 1920s, he developed a systematic plan to monopolize American organbuilding through a large holding company. His notebook, now in the American Organ Archives, contains his candid, informed assessment of the organ industry with an evaluation and recommendation of 44 companies and a complete financial report for each. A fascinating glimpse into the industry at its height.

This domestic drama/comedy finds a venerable, blind organist terminated after 25 years service due to his “innocently priming himself” with drink before playing his service voluntaries. He is, without knowing it, succeeded by his daughter’s fiance, and their conversations provide part of the play’s comedy. Henry Arthur Jones (1851-1929) was a prominent playwright in his time, and a contemporary of Shaw and Wilde. With four characters and about a half-hour in length, The Old Organist will make a fine meeting program for many, and an entertaining read for the rest of us.
