Senator Emerson L. Richards
Senator Emerson L. Richards (1884-1963), majority whip of the New Jersey State Senate speaks to the Fox MovieTone newsreel cameras regarding a bill just passed by the legislature authorizing the governor to offer a reward in case of kidnapping. This bill was passed as a result of the kidnapping of the 1 year old son of Charles Lindbergh.
Senator Richards was also interested in pipe organs and was the designer and consultant for the largest pipe organ in the world at the Atlantic City Convention hall. That instrument was nearing completion when this was recorded on May 23, 1932.

Harry Warren You're Getting to be a Habit with Me
Wonderful to see the video, but those early charcoal microphones couldn't handle the breadth of the sound of the organ.
The three of these 1920s era videos Ive watched seem like the sheer sound level and dynamics of the organ and voices were overmodulating the mic and recording equipment leading to distortion big time, but it was a case of they recorded and had to develop the film and then discover the sound was terrible and no do-over. I remember doing audio tape casettes years ago and if the sound level needle hit the "red zone" on the sound level meter on newer/better devices the recording would come out sounding like it was dragged over a gravel road. I have cassette tapes from the 1970s and 1980s I transferred to digital mp3, some were very bad with bleed-thru from the opposide side of the tape being heard faintly in reverse, and some sounding "rocky" and noisy, so maybe some of the distortion in these videos is from age of the film.
That was the organ my company replaced a few years ago as it had deteriorated badly. I can see the back of the original organ console @2:00 it was completely rebuilt and moved, and a second movable console in the same style with carvings was provided. The old Skinner organ had been rebuilt and altered multiple times over the years to the point it was no longer what it was. The 32' pedal bourdon pipes made of sugar pine had literally come apart at glue joints which failed, and boards that had big cracks in them, someone attempted to hold the together by boring deep holes all the way through the boards and inserted steel threaded rods with washers and nuts. They had also been rescaled and modified as evidenced by pencil markings and old note names that were partially obliterated. The pipes were removed, the 100 year old sugar pine was resawn and reused to make a new set of pipes and the rest of the organ was replaced, using some of the original ranks of pipes in it. A new carved case was also made Not one person in this video is still here to-day!
Ah! More than one Easter favorite.
Ah! One of my favorite hymns, " The Strife is O'er, the Battle Done."
My dad could have been there and seen this as a 13 year old boy.
What is the opening piece of music?
This is utterly amazingly beautiful. Dr T. Tertius Noble at the EM Skinner !
This is just amazing. The organ is spectacular. The reredos now being removed, the current configuration is much more inspiring with a full uninterrupted view of the ambulatory behind the great Table of the Lord. What an wonderful video to share. EM Skinner knew what he was doing. What a gem!
Pietro's brother was a few blocks over and up at St. Vincent Ferrer - It is said that the great Enrico Caruso would sing the Schubert Ave Maria with Yon at St. Patrick's each Christmas Eve at the Midnight Mass.
This is 27 years before the 1954 AS rebuild by GDH.
Just 6 months before the Great Stock Market Crash.
1927 was the year of the first “talkie” movie. It is amazing that those same resources were used to record this service!
I'm looking for the St Thomas Easter Service 1985 or so. It was on a cassette and was never released on Cd. And i'm hoping someone transferred to a CD
An historic rite low church. St thomas was always low until the 80s when they began to High things up a bit
When Bishop Manning was in office
The nave was not built
Thank you so much for posting this - this is my great uncle playing !!!!
I miss the Episcopal Church.
Stole & Hood?
Common in those days.
AT THE END THE ORGAN SOUND IS TRULY PARAMOUNT.-
Such a high level of EVERYTHING ...!!!
Hymns pitched at least a 3d higher than normal now. Also very slow tempi.
Video was probably sped up to reduce the flicker these old movies had when played on modern equipment
Awesome in many ways
These demonstrations you have made, Will, are extremely well presented. So very useful if someone is considering which sample set to purchase. Thank you. I understand that the organ of Blackburn Cathedral will be available later in 2022. A very different instrument from the more usual English organs and in a very different and striking architectural setting.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found the demonstrations helpful. I've got more of them in the works so keep an eye out for them.
@Will Scarboro, is it true of Solo Clarinet 8' is the 1877 Choir Corno de Bassetto? Why does the 2020 Harrison Restoration Specification DOCX didn't specify that? I know the Corno de Bassetto is the tenor member of the Clarinet family, but they are not similar to the Clarinet itself.
It is according to the information provided by the sample set manufacturer.
Remarkable sound on film recording from the earliest days of that technology.
Do u happen to know the name of the rector during this time? The yound man at the end of the line.
No, I'm sorry I don't.
Very nice Will ! One question: Is the sound I'm hearing coming from your speakers or are you using the direct audio output from Hauptwerk into your sound setup to your video/audio that eventually is the audio on the CZcams video? Thanks for the very interesting review of the organ sampleset.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The organ audio is direct from Hauptwerk and is mixed with my voice from the camera for the video.
Thank you Will. That's what I thought because I briefly noticed you were wearing headphones. Usually, the organ sounds better when direct recorded, i.e. directly out of Hauptwerk as you did. I just wanted to confirm because the organ's sample set sounded quite good and I could hear pipe articulation rather well. It seems to be a rather good sample set of the organ. I would presume you're using the 24-bit full sample set as well. I'll check if you have other organ demos on CZcams to view. In any case, thank you again.
great stuff..im beginner ..what keyboards you using Will..nice set up...i just bought All Saint Church,London set...
Beautiful organ. Thans for explain
Glad you liked it!
The priest looks awfully young for a rector. I assume Evensong was covered in this pre-recording for Easter by the vicar. The reredos is unfinished and most of the higher -up statuary facing Fifth Avenue appear to be missing as well. This church was still a work in progress.
I agree. I don't think it is the rector. He doesn't look the right age.
Hello Will. I like your Videos. I am still living in Norway and a thought several times about to buy a Hauptwerk Organ. But to buy a complete Organ (all inclusive) is pretty expensive. I see in your Videos that you use only 2 normaly Keyboards. Please, could you tell me what i need to build myself for this kind of Organ. Could you write some details and maybe a little bit of the costs? It would be very helpfull. My email is soulofmusic@zohomail.eu God bless you and a lot of greetings from Norway.
I really wish I could get this sample set, but it’s so damn expensive 😂
EXCELLENT VIDEO DISPLAYING THE VARIOUS TONES OF THE STOPS.
Über-Awesome, indeed! HOSIANNA!
Wow! The pitches those hymns are being sung at seem extremely high!
Video was probably sped up to reduce the flicker these old movies had when played on modern equipment
I am learning to play this piece having discovered it in a very old album of virtuoso piano music. I now know what I must strive for. I am really enjoying the challenge.
Love the old altar!!!
O yes! Why they destroyed the marvellous originally altar??
@@canticus7068 They removed it because they wanted something more bigger and better but somehow that didn't go to plan also they wanted more space.
Why they took it down?
The congregation does not sing the hymns back then?? What a shame.
It probably was not a "real" congregation as this was staged for later broadcast.
Agree with Manuel R. Congregation acts like spectators. Even at this early date when many Episcopal parishes had yet to embrace more ceremonial, it would have been customary for congregation to bow as Processional Cross passed.
This was staged for the cameras a few weeks before Easter. My guess is that they invited congregants to attend just so the choir wasn't singing to an empty church.
Seems unlikely, since who is going to PAY for all that just for a short film? Seems more likely the date of the recording is wrong or a different date was put on the film in the credits than it was actually recorded, we wouldn't know the "why" of that" but an altered date seems more likely than "staging" a totally fake Easter service complete with volunteer spectators, organist and clergy who did the time and work for free for a 6-1/2minute film @@whs1325
Great video! I’ve been an organist for over 40 years and use an older Hauptwerk program on an older Apple computer which I play through a Roland/Rodgers keyboard. I’m adding a yamaha digital piano keyboard for the second and need to get some pedals somewhere. The organ I currently use on the computer is the Hauptwerk St. Anne’s organ which came with the program. A nice church organ sound for a smaller church.
What ever became of the original console shell? Why was it never preserved - or has it been?
Thank you for posting this. They don't make 'em like this guy anymore, do they?
Hello Will can I please get your sample set Hereford cathedral please.
You can find out further information and order the sample set here: www.lavenderaudio.co.uk/organs/hereford/
The Stock Market crash was in October of 1929, so this is just 6 months before that.
Many thanks for postinng this valuable document!!
My pleasure!
Simply Divine. There’s nothing like Evensong at St Thomas. Remarkable audio and video considering “talkies” has only arrived a year earlier. Soooooo good.
Bravo! Dr Anton Phibes would have been proud of you!! Love it!
Beauty is a reality that never dies. Praise the Lord. This is an excellent choir.
Will have you discovered RX7 from izotope for audio restoration? It is worth a look.
