Wurlitzer standard model Publix 1 information

The following is from Larry Chace via the PIPORG-L Internet mailing list (January 16, 1997):
 
"This model of organ was designed by Jesse Crawford for the Publix theatre chain. The intent was to provide an impressive instrument (4 manuals) at a reasonable cost ("only" 20 ranks, no 32', no 25" pressures) for the "deluxe" theatres to be built by that company.
 
The first was opus #1123 (1925) for the Capitol Theatre in Detroit and the last was opus #2164 (1931) for the Parmount Theatre in Oakland, California. A total of 25 were built, described variously as "Special 4M", "260-4M", and "270". (There is a "real" style 270 with a different specification.)
 
The instrument for the Chicago Oriental Theatre was opus 1262 (1926) and was one of the first "ornate" consoles built by Wurlitzer. This was the first of 6 of this style for Chicago, all installed in the first four months of 1926.
 
Strangely enough, the last one (Oakland Paramount) was removed but was then replaced by the first one, now serving (in expanded form) in that same theatre. The original was for many years in the Paramount Music Palace (and pizza restaurant) in Indianapolis; with the closing of that business, the organ has gone "west". Another Publix #1, opus 2006 (1928, Paramount Theatre in Toledo, Ohio), forms the nucleus of the organ in the Berkeley Community Theatre.
 
I believe that there are still original installations in the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham (#1783, 1927) and in the Paramount Theatre in Seattle (#1819, 1927).
 
(This information comes mostly from "Theatre Organ" magazine, December 1969, and from the Judd Walton book of standard specifications.)"
