at the Organ of the Gaumont Palace Cinema, Birmingham

From cathedral chorister to cinema organist - this has been the story of Felton Rapley, who comes to the microphone this morning with another of his versatile recitals. First a chorister at Winchester Cathedral, then, at the age of thirteen, organist at Hursley Parish Church in Hampshire, Rapley entered the musical side of the cinema industry at the age of seventeen.

He was musical director at a number of South-Coast cinemas, and soon became a theatre organist, in which capacity he has held posts all over the country. He was appointed to his present position in December, 1935.

at the Organ of the Regal Cinema, Edmonton

Phil Park, resident organist at the Regal, Edmonton, has been on the air in one capacity or another almost every week since he joined that cinema.
Park started his career some eleven years ago in his home town, Preston. Although professionally a journalist he was an excellent amateur pianist, and music soon had its way when he became drganist at the newly opened New Victoria in 1928. Reginald Foort, passing through Preston, spotted Phil and took him with him to Bournemouth. Here they worked together for nearly two years, later together opening the New Victoria Cinema in London.
Phil Park has also been associated with De Groot, Sidney Torch, and Fred Hartley when the latter was in charge of the Regal Virtuosi.
