at the BBC Theatre Organ
Tom Jenkins , of the Plaza, Swan-sea, who will give his first recital on the BBC Theatre Organ tonight, has broadcast 220 times, but his most painful memory is of his first broadcast to the Empire, when he was still suffering from a sprained ankle through falling down a flight of steps four days before. Determined not to miss the broadcast, he had the swollen ankle massaged every hour for four days, finishing up with a last-minute massage in the front seats of the cinema-and got through.
