a gramophone programme about the theatre organ and its organists
Presented by Bobby Pagan
Bobby Pagan , who followed Quentin Maclean last year at the Trocadero, will show in this programme the rise to popularity of the theatre organ in this country.
In 1938 and 1939 he spent eighteen months in Denmark to take over Denmark's first cinema organ, and picked up enough Danish to make his own announcements in that language.
While in Copenhagen he broadcast weekly from Kalundborg, and also made a number of records, including a tune dedicated to Denmark's capital because it derived its melody from the chimes of the City Hall dock. A great occasion of his visit was the premiere of a film attended by the entire Danish Royal Family, when he had to play a programme of all-Danish music-no light task for a foreign guest-performer in a strange land.
