played by Jack Dowle at the theatre organ

Jack Dowle was sub-organist at St. Peter's Church, Cranley Gardens, at the age of eleven. Five years ago he was appointed assistant to Harold Ramsay at the Granada, Tooting. He was a member of the original 'Eight-Piano Symphony' and a member for some time of the famous Rhythm Symphony Orchestra, of which he was part-founder.
Between 1937 and 1939 he toured Union Cinemas in a team of all-star theatre organists, and in the latter year he was appointed to the Kingston-on-Thames Regal. His signature tune is 'Spread a little happiness', from Mr. Cinders.
