' Music from the Films '
Several years ago when Reginald Foort was at the Regent, Bournemouth, he thought of playing a programme of ' hits of yesterday'. It proved so successful that he repeated it, developing it later into a programme of hits from the films. As he says, a film tune is a thing of the moment, it is heard while the picture is shown, played a month or two by the bands, and then forgotten. So from time to time he devotes a broadcast to film tunes old and new. He gives a selection or two from a few of the films that are being talked about, and then a medley of some of the tunes from the past. This feature is among the many popular innovations made by Reginald Foort since he joined the BBC.
