A sound musical education at the Royal Conservatoire at the Hague fitted him for his long association with the direction of music in film theatres. Meyer de Wolfe was responsible for the introduction of the first Wurlitzer organ to the public of this country, and was instrumental in introducing many of Britain's leading theatre organists to their audiences. For years his concerts at the Regent, Brighton, were a high-spot musical entertainment on the South Coast.
