Theatre, Leeds
Cecil Chadwick has had many years of experience in the musical side of the cinema industry. Immediately after the war, in which he served for four years, he became a pianist in a Manchester cinema, and thereafter began a long series of musical engagements. He was musical* director of the Palace Cinema, Southport, where he stayed for seven years.
He then began to study the organ, and soon got his first cinema organist's job. This was at the Plaza, Stockport, where he stayed for nine months before resigning to go to the Classic Cinema at Belfast.
He had been there only three weeks when he gave his first broadcast, and in twelve and a half months had completed his century of recitals over the air. He remained with the Classic for over three years, in which time he gave 204 broadcasts. After resigning, he went as organist to Union Cinemas, for whom he played in various part of the country, broadcasting from Didsbury, Manchester, and Belfast.
When he went to the. Savoy
Cinema, Leicester, he found that he was unable to broadcast from there. After a year of silence on the air he resigned to take over his present position in September, 1938.
