A very interesting vintage film about the Compton theatre/cinema organ factory. From off YouTube. https://youtu.be/50CkMZfUF3s

I have mentioned this before. In the black out, during the war years, the organist at the Court Cinema was knocked down by a bus, on his way home from the Cinema. He had to have his leg amputated. All vehicles in that period of time had to have their headlights shielded, showing the minimum of illumination. There was no street lighting, nor any other lighting.
