Theatre Organs
Many of the theatres had a theatre organ, for entertainment before the show, during the intervals, or after the show. The name 'Gaumont' was adopted to describe the style of the 'flat top' organ console case (originally for the Pavilion Theatre, Shepherds Bush), for some organs built from October 1931 to 1934 by the John Compton Organ Company of London.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or organs:
“The theatre is supremely fitted to say: “Behold! These things are.” Yet most dramatists employ it to say: “This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.””
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
