This fascinating book traces the evolution of the Los Angeles company through the demise of the Murray M. Harris Company, its successor the Los Angeles Art Organ Company, and then its short-lived successor, the Electrolian Company. Letters to and from the major stock holder in the company, Eben Smith, reveal the financial debacle of building the largest organ in the world, the 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition organ—the nucleus of the famous Wanamaker organ,—and the on-going problems of obtaining contracts and keeping the firm out of bankruptcy.

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.
