The first programme by The New BBC Theatre Organist
with Peggy Dell, Norbert Wethmar and Ivor Dennis
Introduced by John Watt
Reginald Foort and Sandy Macpherson were both at the Empire Cinema, London, at its opening in November, 1928, and for about six months worked there together. And so they teamed together until Foort left the Empire early in the following year.
Sandy Macpherson has been at the Empire ever since, and thousands must know his signature tune, 'Happy days are here again'. He may choose a new one now, and if he decides to, listeners will hear it tonight. He made his name as an organist with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer theatres in Canada. The company sent him over here for six months - he never returned. He is tall, and not as 'sandy' as his name.
