Until the day he died Robert Mitchell was an active member of the American Theater Organ Society and he did live to one ripe old age of 96. This short subject which came out in 1941 shows the school/training ground he founded in Los Angeles which received no public monies of any kind. Today it might be categorized as a charter school.
This short subject about the school and the boys came out in 1941 and Mitchell due to connections with the movie colony more than likely put the school on a paying basis because of the choir's performing in several film. Most notably of course is Going My Way and several Roy Rogers films.
Afterward Mitchell played the organ at Dodger Stadium for decades when Major League baseball came to the Pacific coast.
All in all a remarkable life and the short subject is a moment in time of said life.
