Original Toronto Star caption: A Familiar sight to weekend audiences at Odeon-Carlton movie theatre, Colin Corbett has been playing the three-tiered Hillgreen Lane organ there for 21 years. They're going to tear down the 25-year old building next year to make way for a high-rise and the news came as quite a shock to Corbett. He plays at intermission, rising out of the pit while colored lights flash and the pipes boom.
