Bay District theatre organs, in- active for a period of time, again are being made a featured part of regular picture house programs with the public evidencing itself as pleased. A visit to any local picture house where the organ is being given a spot shows the con- sole entertainment netting heavy response. Almost every first-run house in the city is devoting a part of its program to the console artist, among these houses being Pub- lix’s Granada, which recently im- ported from New York Harold Ramsay, who is in his third week there and steadily developing pop- ularity. He succeeded Don George, who took over the directorship of the Granada Sync'opators. One of the best known organists in the country, and originator of many novelties, C. Sharpe-Minor, was brought into Loew’s Warfield sev- eral weeks ago, where Fox West Coast is giving him heavy bill- ing. At the RKO Orpheum Buss McClelland is deviating from his usual organ solos and has joined forces with Johnny McCartney, the pair featuring McCartney’s baby console, the world’s small- est, in an original concert. Other organists playing an im- portant part in Bay District the- atre work include Mel Hertz, at the Fox El Capitan; Charles Wil- son, at the New Fox; Floyd Wright, at the Fox Grand Lake in Oakland; Glen Goff, in daily concerts at the S. H. Kress store here and playing at the Variety Theatre, Palo Alto; Dorothy Dooley, at Puhlix’s St. Francis; Elmer Vincent, organist for the A r k u s h Peninsula Theatres; Frances Huntly, organist for Publix Theatre; and Henry Harcke, at the Milano Theatre.
