JOHN HOWLETT THEATRE ORGANIST OF THE ODEON THEATRE CIRCUIT - I remember the first time that I was taken to the Odeon Theatre Leicester Square in 1953 where I saw the first film presented in CinemaScope, The Robe, and being totally and utterly bowled over by the whole experience

Must have looked great on their Magic Mirror CinemaScope semi curved screen and the for fist time 4 track magnetic stereo surround sound. We take stereophonic sound now for granted but in 1953 It was a big thing in the movie theatres and in 1958 stereo records.
