CRAWFORD, JACK, AND HIS ORCHESTRA—See Dance Records CRAWFORD, JESSE, Organist
It is a far cry from the austere music-room of a convent to the towering magnificence of the mammoth Paramount Theatre in New York ... . but that is the distance covered in a few years by Jesse Crawford, reigning monarch of motionpicture organists. Jesse Crawford was born in Woodland, Cal. Left an orphan at a very early age, the little Crawford boy was taken in charge by the nuns at Our Lady of Lourdes orphanage. He was given music lessons as well as ordinary schooling, and after a few years the good Sister who taught him realized that he had progressed as far as possible under her tutelage.
Finally, Jesse reached the age at which it became necessary for him to earn a living. His first job was that of
JESSE CRAWFORD pianist in a movie, at $5 a week. But his love was the
organ, and when as pianist he had begun to earn $25 a week,
he deliberately gave up the place for a job as organist, for $10 less! Perhaps the fact that he
had never touched an organ had something to do with it. At any rate, it was not long
before he had mastered the instrument—and more; he had developed a style and technique of his own that made him talked about, and, presently, sought after.
He progressed from small theatres to the largest; spent time and gained fame at a great Chicago theatre, and finally was asked to take the post of organist at the Paramount in New York.
Meanwhile, the technique of organ recording, after years of baffling difficulty, had been perfected by Victor engineers, and as always, Victor sought the ranking artist in the theatre field to make records of the theatre organ. The results are known from coast to coast, for the extraordinary records which Crawford has made have reached staggering totals. For color, novelty, individuality, they are without a peer in their field.
