Harold Smart and Douglas Reeves at the BBC Theatre Organ
Harold Smart is fifteen years old. He started playing the piano at the age of five, and has been studying the organ for just over a year under his father, Charles Smart, well-known cinema organist.' Both father and son are broadcasting on the BBC Theatre Organ in the same week; listeners will hear the father playing with Jay Wilbur and his Band on Friday.
Douglas Reeves is nineteen years old, and well known to North London audiences as solo organist at the Regal and Orpheum, Golders Green, and the Capitol, Wembley. At the age of eleven he was assistant deputy-organist at St. George's Church, Brighton, and his first professional engagement was at the Savoy, Brighton, and the Lido, Hove, when he was fourteen.
Reginald Foort heard him and introduced him into the cinema world, where he quickly won fame as ' The Wonder Boy Organist'.
Foort hopes to continue this series of first broadcasts on the BBC Theatre Organ about once a month.
