At THE ORGAN of THE REGAL, MARBLE ARCH
REGINALD FOORT , like Quentin Maclean of the Trocadero Cinema, is one of those musicians who have saved the cinema organ music from becoming merely a meaningless meandering background to the film, interspersed with pistol shots, storms at sea, and the coconut-shell noises of galloping hooves. And Mr. Foort was born at Daventry, which makes it seem that he must have been fated from birth to become a broadcaster. At the age of seventeen he gaihed his diploma as Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, and was appointed organist and choirmaster at St. Mary's, Bryanston Square. He was one of the first of what may be called the 'straight' organists to visualize the possibilities of a specially-built cinema organ, and he began to play for the cinema in 1925.
