REGINALD NEW - "NOLA" - COMPTON THEATRE ORGAN - BEAUFORT CINEMA WASHWOOD HEATH - 1931
I used to go there all the time as a kid. I saw Live and Let Die, Star Wars and many others. It was an art deco masterpiece the centrepiece of North Finchley, our Sistine Chapel. A scandal that it got knocked down only to be replaced by an ugly bus station.
Looks like a bi-uncial slide lantern and two Brenographs nearest the camera. Presumably, it would also have had follow spots in addition to two or three film projectors.
Is that Tony Moss narrating?
I worked in Blackpool in 1981 on central pier did reg come out of the floor to appear on stage or was I dreaming it
I like that he is really feeling the music. So enjoyable and so much energy!
They don’t make ’em like that anymore….😀👍🏻
I saw my first "movie" there as a small child and later attending some of the early TV recordings . My school bus stop was outside
The Merry Go Round Broke Down 1991
The GREATEST theatre organist that ever lived!
The lease on the Ritz (later the ABC) expires in 2025. It's going to be converted into a suite hotel by the local council.
Beautiful video brought back so many memories of the early seventies down the lido, thank you so much for the memories Mr Savage. ❤️
Mr. Dixon was really a master. I enjoyed this clip quite a lot. Thank you for posting, DA
One of my favourite records from my late dad's collection , a plum coloured Columbia , I played to death as a child .Still recall the label saying it was at the Edmonton , Regal Cinema , so must have been c. 1937 .
A very good friend of mine living next door for many years With his sons Tony now sadly gone and son Richard ,Wife Gladys I knew Stanleys parents very well. Stanley played for many years in a local dance band The Gregorians Others in Band another friend Athur Lee drummer. Fig Smith / ?Walters Some times accompanied By international Saxaphone Player Betty Smith. All from Sileby Leicestershire A note Stanley a gentleman always. His grandchildren great musician he would have been so proud of them but sadly stan never knew them.
My father and mother met while they both worked at Wurlitzer. They were married in 1929 and lived on Shawnee Road within sight of the factory. Dad made pipes for the pipe organs and Mom proofed the paper rolls which produced the music on the band organs.
Trivia note: The “gongman” actually didn’t strike the gong with his hammer; the gong wasn’t made of metal, but of clay, so it would’ve split if really struck. So he only mimed striking the gong, and a gong sound was overlaid.
When was this filmed? Proper nostalgia x My late queen used to stay at the queen's 2/3 times a year with her friends back in the 80s/90s
I went there as a child with my Dad, who had been at the opening night. I have such fond memories of his knowledge of it all. Apparently the tower was also a a radio transmitting station. Wonderful
Multi talented… xylophone, sax and drums…
You know damn well sprouts make me choke....
🙏many thanks for this post! delighted to see and hear Edit and Les and LEN of course, I was there a few times…. happy memories and times…
Fats (1904-1943) left an amazing body of work. This is often the case with those who died young. They just accomplished more. Original issue: Victor 21202.
ABC cinema Gravesend provided me with many a good childhood memory
I went to the Saturday morning matinee's in the late 1950's. Amazing days fun for 6d.
I think of this song whenever I see a deformed infant.
He had an extra-ordinary technique; those flying registration changes, plus activating the percussion with his feet. Also, the harmonic interpretation was his too! Some player! Fantastic conductor as well.
Wasn’t this his ‘ Professor Wallofski’ character, if I remember correctly?
This is the first recording of Maple Leaf Rag I heard. When I first heard the Joshua Rifkin recording I must admit that at first I found it a bit dull.
Genius.
We used to travel from Fleet to come here all the time in my early teens, I remember going to see Batman, T2, Naked Gun, Wayne’s World, Ghost, Lawnmower Man, TMNT or TMHT as it was called at the time. The main screen was still huge and it was massively popular back then, the only cinema in the area. Sometimes there would be queues around the block for a big film. It had lost all of its fancy signage even back then but still was an impressive building. I guess its days are numbered now, the area is being redeveloped.
It was one of the few local cinemas that had 4 track stereo installed for 20th century fox cinemascope films. I saw The Seven Year Itch there
I remember children's Saturday morning cinema at the Gnoll cinema.
This is great, thank you.
During William Wylers film The Collector Terence Stamp drives past this Odeon, and guess what is showing? William Wyler's Ben Hur!
I think I need to fly on my magic carpet to plead with the king of the potato people for some oxygen for the next two hours.
They repeated this clip in the 1970s. My dad had seen it in 1959, instantly remembered it, and cried with laughter all over again.
Brilliant Andrew loxam Stockport
I have several recordings off the magnificent Jerry demonstrating Lowery organs in Perth Scotland, from around 1973 to 1980... courtesy of my dad and a secreted cassette recorder! We told Jerry, he was fine about it. Absolute gentleman, and a wonderful musician. ❤️🌹
Nat jackley with jimmy clitheroe in panto on you tube..Great music hall treat.
A.E. Abrahams is my great great grandad
An infectious sound from 1958 when I was 11 and I'm still around today to enjoy it. YIPPEE!
le PRO 200 est fabuleux. En l'occurrence, il est très bien joué.
This looked amazing, can't believe it was demolished. Needs a blue plaque!
Thats to dear Les & Edith i got my first break playing the wurlitzer as a very nervous 14 year old sat on the organ bench next to a young carlo curley . Very happy memories of them. Today ive sadly found out that Len Rawle passed away back in Nocember. God bless Len. I last met his dear wife judith back in about 2001 when Lens dad Les hosted a personal recital i gave back then in mrmory of my late grandmother Vicky
To quote Bobby Hill... "I didnt know people danced like Egyptians back then!"
wonderful performance from lily morris at 41.31 !
A good friend and real gent with talent
Was the second half of the show ever recorded? Would love to see it
Cheers govner ! Blinkin loverly songs these are me old chyner !
