The Mighty Compton with its Melotone unit was installed in the Mayfair Cinema, Liverpool, UK for its opening in May 1937 with Sydney Gustard at the console. The pipe chambers were behind the screen stretching the width of the stage which resulted in tremendous power for an organ of only six ranks. The console rose on a lift to take its place in front of a gold festoon curtain and was surrounded by an art-glass illuminated jelly-mould. Quoted from Chas Girdwood.

Hear Hello Dolly played on this organ.
