Records of Joan Cross (soprano)
It seems strange that singing was only Joan Cross's second subject to the violin at Trinity College, but she changed over and so altered her career. Twelve years ago Lilian Baylis engaged her to walk on at Sadler's Wells, and little thought she had found an operatic star. Her greatest success has probably been in Mozart operas and as Desdemona in Otello.

at the theatre organ
Al Bollington began to study the organ when in America, at a time when cinema organs in that country were just becoming the rage. Returning to England, Bollington got an appointment with Spiero's orchestra at the Tower, Blackpool, and he later obtained his first solo organist appointment at the Streatham Astoria. He was there for five years, spent two years at the Plaza, Piccadilly Circus, and succeeded Reginald Foort at the Paramount, Tottenham Court Road.
