Edward Ohenry (1930)
Full titles read: Audio interviews Edward O Henry, the wellknown Solo Organist and Wurlitzer Exponent. (new title) Countless listeners have heard Mr. O Henry via Radio or Gramophone. Here he is on the screen and many a pianist will envy his ability to mould those multiple keys and stops into music and Location of events unknown. Soundtrack is missing for this whole issue. M, S of Edward O Henry rising from the pit on a Wurlitzer organ; he is playing, but alas, we cannot hear him due to missing soundtrack. He says a few words to camera; presumably introducing his next piece. We see him playing, intercut with shots of a cathedral or church and grounds, then a ghostly monk figure walking about the ruins of a monastery or church, then a steam train leaving a station, followed by another church. He seems to be playing a jazzier tune towards the end, pulling out stops with a flourish. According to paperwork, the tunes played were Poet Peasant, Le Cygne, In a Monastery Garden
