Roxy Theatre 69 George Street, Paramatta, NSW – Showing the Chistie Console Organ
Joe Simiana writes – Originally, the theatre featured a Christie 3Manual/10Ranks organ which was opened by Eddie Horton. It cost approximately $AU32,000 and was reputedly the largest organ to be installed in an Australian theatre. Other organists who play this instrument include; Horace Weber, Desmond Tanner, Denise Palmistra, Paul Cullen, Knight Barnett, Ruby Coulson, Ray Chaffer, Nicholas Robins and Owen Holland. In 1958, it was dismantled and sold, and now resides in nearby suburban Castle Hill Entertainment Centre,. Contributed by Greg Lynch –
