It's a shame there aren't some close-ups of the dual console. It appears to be a surround into which the organs were fitted. The musical lyre motif on the face of the console is well done, and the finishes are nothing short of spectacular.
Please tell us there is more than this one song...Jesse was the master or 'poet' of the organ, but master without any doubt whatsoever! I posted a Jesse Crawford record on my channel and he plays the Hammond organ w/ more dynamics than anyone I've ever heard. His swell pedal control was excellent. Take it from me- if you are bored with your Hammond tone wheel organ don't dispare, you just need a little bit of a tune up- get a nice electronic theater organ- you will hear the Hammond differently:)
I believe these organs to be Hammond model BC's, as I can here the shimmering effect of the chorus generators along with the tremolo these organs originally came with.

Oh' my! I could watch them play together for hours. Ironically Helen's style could be a bit more aggressive than her husbands.
Is there more of this film footage?

Paramount must have paid handsomely - that is one heck of an apartment!
And a double-ended...............Hammond!
