Notes

2009-09-05 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. M&ouml;ller, 1928). -Database Manager

2024-10-15 - Not to be confused with [two] other Pittsburgh theaters called the Cameraphone, this silent screen movie house may have existed only from 1915-16. Nothing more is known. -Paul R. Marchesano

2024-10-15 - The following note from the contract specification presents questions. No stops in the specification are marked "X" and further information on the Barckhoff organ is lacking at this time: "PIPES:- All the present pipes in the Barckhoff Organ now erected in the Cameraphone Theatre, E.E. Pittsburgh, Pa. to be used in this Organ, including the Harp, Chimes, and Xylophone. All stops Marked X, to be New. All the old pipes to be revoiced and given the proper Quality and quantity of tone and all defective ones to be replaced by new ones." -Paul R. Marchesano
