Together in partnership with the American Theatre Organ Society, The Strand will screen the 1925 silent film classic The Phantom of The Opera on Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 3:00PM. With live accompaniment on The Strand’s Mighty Allen Theatre Organ, seeing one of these classic films is a one-of-a-kind musical and visual experience.

Join us thirty minutes before the start of the film for a live pre-show concert on the Mighty Allen Theatre Organ!

ABOUT THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
At the Opera of Paris, a mysterious phantom threatens a famous lyric singer, Carlotta, and forces her to give up her role (Marguerite in Faust) for unknown Christine Daae. Christine meets this phantom (a masked man) in the catacombs, where he lives. What's his goal? What's his secret?

ABOUT THE ORGANIST
Ron Carter is a sought after theatre organ concert and silent film accompanist playing in theaters throughout the southeast. He is the theatre organ consultant for Allen Organ Studios of Atlanta, and the House Organist for the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta, Ga. He has been a member of the Strand Theatre Board of Trustees since its inception in 2003 and served as Board Secretary for 13 of those years. He is past Chairman of the Board for Marietta's Pops Orchestra, Symphony on the Square.
Ron is also the former President of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society and a recipient of its 2009 Life Time Achievement Award, the American Theatre Organ Society’s 2009 Honorary Member award, and was recognized by the Cobb County Ga. Cultural Arts Board as Cobb's 2010 Outstanding Instrumentalist. Recently Ron was honored by the Mayor of Marietta as he proclaimed February 12, 2023 as Ron Carter Day in the City of Marietta for his contributions to the Strand Theatre and the Marietta community.
Ron has served five churches in a part time capacity as organist/Choir Director for over 50 years and is currently part of a team of organists who play for worship services at Marietta First Baptist Church. He is a retired Commander of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation after serving 38 years in public law enforcement.
Ron and his lovely wife of 55 years, Donna, live in Marietta, Georgia and have one son, John, daughter-in-law Julie and two precious grand children, Abby and Jake!

ABOUT THE MIGHTY ALLEN
The Strand’s Mighty Allen Theatre Organ, a four-manual, 33-rank digital replica of a 1920s Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ, was the largest stock theatre organ produced by the Allen Company at the time it was built. The Mighty Allen has been custom voiced to the Strand’s 530 seat auditorium by house organist Ron Carter and Allen technician Alan Buchannan. In addition to the revolutionary technology used in building this instrument, the placement of twenty four (24) 90 pound speaker cabinets, powered by sixteen (16) 100 watt amplifiers placed in the large pipe organ chambers on each side of the Proscenium arch magnifies the realism of the theatre pipe organ sound. Additionally, the Strand instrument has a digital toy counter that activates “special effect sounds” like car horns, whistles, gun shots, train whistle, thunder and many others that are used in the accompaniment of silent film.
