2023-12-27 - From the *Niagara Falls Review* (July 2, 1924): "The formal opening of the new pipe organ in the Queen Theatre was held on Monday evening with almost a capacity audience. The new instrument is one of the finest to be installed in Canada and the audience applauded again and again. Mr. J. Harold Bradley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Bradley this city was at the console and played the difficult, beautiful overture 'Light Cavalry' and had to respond to insistent encores. The new organ embodies in itself practically a full orchestra string and wood. The playing of Mr. Bradley was marked with high technique and the great volume of the organ was displayed to perfection. The playing was of a standard unusual in a theatre and the applauses showed the appreciatioon of the audience. Mr. Bradley is studying at Trinity College, Toronto, and at the Toronto Conservatory of Music and already won golden opinions from competent musical critics. His playing should be a great added attraction to Queen Theatre goers." The maker of the organ is not credited in the voluminous publicity. The stoplist appears to be extremely similar to description of the theatre's previous 1915 Smith Organ, and possibly the pipework and parts of the organ were used in the new instrument. In 1936 the organ was purchased by Drummond Hill Presbyterian Church and modified with a new Wicks console with the input of Frederic Tristram Egener, the Wicks representative in Ontario, and likely parted out when a new Casavant organ was installed in 1953. -Andrew Henderson
