Original Toronto Star caption: Playing her $80;000 organ. When Jeneveve Smith visiting Philadelphia; Pa.; a while ago; she went into a bank to cash a $20 cheque and saw 1930 Great Swell Wurlitzer organ in the office. She jokingly asked manager if he would like to get rid of it. He said she could have it if she paid for hoisting it out; and shipping and customs charges. Now it sits in her Bergamot Ave. apartment in Etobicoke. She says dealers in Canada and England offered $80;000 for it.
