ORGANS AND LOVE
The surging music of a pipe organ is the most effective means of getting screen lovers into the proper character, in the opinion of Edmund Goulding. director, writer and composer, now at work on “The Devil’s Holiday” at Paramount’s Hollywood studios. “Organ music,” he said, “puts screen lovers in the right atmosphere—that is, on the proper religious basis. All religion which has survived the ages is built on love. Pipe organ music calls to people’s hearts.” Atmospheric music, used In the old days of silent pictures to put characters into the proper moods, is being used in the talkies by Goulding. When a scene has been taken and the sound apparatus shut off he has the organ played to make the players ready for the next, sequence.
