@HarborGuy The following quote is from the Chicago Theatre Website: (thechicagotheatre(dot)com)
"The Chicago Theatre first opened its doors on October 26, 1921 with Norma Talmadge on screen in "The Sign on the Door." A 50-piece orchestra performed in the pit and Jesse Crawford played the mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ."
@wurlitzer165 My turntable is not precise in speed and there is always some uncertainty on the speed that Victor recorded it. I believe the original was played in B-flat, and that's how I attempted to pitch it using software. I hope I wasn't too far off.
I like it!

Thank you for the recording and also the pictures of the Chicago Theater. I don't have a trained ear as you and others seem to but it sounded great.

I've notice that the note A above middle C is not standardized as 440 in 1926. Is it true?

@pax41 I got this recently on Ebay. The seller didn't know how to grade it so I took a chance and got lucky.
