Historic Mission Inn Organ Returns to Life with Silent Film Classic
Century-old Kimball pipe organ makes debut after latest restoration with live accompaniment to 1922's 'Nosferatu'.
Riverside's Mission Inn will unveil its newly restored 1909 Kimball pipe organ on Oct. 25, accompanying a screening of the 1922 silent film "Nosferatu" in the Grand Parisian Ballroom.
Driving the news: The 2,800-pipe organ, one of America's last surviving hotel pipe organs, will make its public debut following extensive restoration work.
- Organist William Zeitler will perform Bach's Toccata in D minor before improvising a live score for the film.
Why it matters: The event revives a lost art form from cinema's early era, showcasing the creative responsibility organists once held in shaping the moviegoing experience.
- Silent films rarely came with official scores, leaving organists to create appropriate musical atmospheres with minimal direction.
The details: Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door, with costumes encouraged for the Halloween-season event.
- The screening begins at 1 p.m., with doors opening at noon.
What's next: The Friends of the Mission Inn hope this event will lead to more public access to the ballroom and increased use of the historic organ.

Riverside's oldest family-owned restaurant offers 65-cent grinders to mark milestone.
D'Elia's Grinders in Riverside is marking its 70th anniversary with a special celebration featuring discounted sandwiches and a limited-time menu at its original University Avenue location.
