About

Nearly every large cinema used to house a theatre pipe organ. These were introduced to provide the accompaniment to silent films, but many British installations took place during the sound film era. When silent films gave way to sound films, those cinema organs began to use them to provide a musical interlude between the second feature and main feature films. This caught on and every worthwhile cinema had a pipe organ installed, and this continued until the later 1930s.
