The Kilgen Theatre Organ differs from other organs in several ways. While they share the same roots, the theatre organ is quite different from a church or a classical organ. Instead of hymns, a theatre organ was used to accompany silent movies with effects for comedy and drama. Theatre organs are generally louder and their pipes sound like musical instruments, such as trumpets and saxophones, with special effects like drums, bells, and whistles. Despite the introduction of motion pictures with sound in the late 1920s, theatre organs enjoyed great popularity into the late 1930s.
