Stanley Tudor, twenty-nine years of age, was born in Stoke-on-Trent, played the church organ before he was nine, won many prizes for piano-playing and began his cinema career fifteen years ago in the days of silent films, as pianist at the Capitol, Hanley. When he was sixteen he joined Gaumont-British, being appointed organist at the Hippodrome, Stoke. After three years at Stoke, he toured their circuit before being appointed to the Gaumont Palace, Hammersmith. During his four years there, he took part in the film "Britannia of Billingsgate."
His signature tune, "Singing in the Rain", is dedicated to the three weeks' downpour which greeted his arrival in Manchester for the opening of the Gaumont Theatre there in 1935.
