HI, Keith:
You are R-I-G-H-T. I was at that party with Delly etc., but, frankly, don't recall Harold Lloyd. Then again...well, that was a long time ago. Just talked to Joan Strader and she recalls the DQ organ. Joan said that Simontons came into possession of the Lloyd Hammond organ, but didn't purchase the entire estate in Hollywood. She also recalls Jesse Crawford's expertise with big theater organs. Joan, and late husband Jack, as you know, have/are heavily involved in both theater and classic pipe organ restoration/preservation here in Cincinnati.
Cheers and thanks for those stellar memories. The steamboats.org web 'village' answers the call.
Cheers,
R. Dale Flick
