Notes
2023-05-02 - From Ryan Thomas, Circle Theater:
The instument had been sold to the Tulsa Scottish Rite organization & removed in 1931. During the early 2000's, the non-profit Circle Cinema Foundation was created to restore the venue as a non-profit art house cinema. The organ was reaquired in 2005, and by 2014 it was restored and playable.
The 2nd Saturday Silent Series features silent films of the early 1900s, accompanied by live music on the Robert Morton instrument: https://www.youtube.com/@circlecinema -George W JENISTA
