Short Summary

Organist Florence de Jong plays excerpts from well-known classics.
Description

No titles.

M/S of an unidentified man with glasses introducing Florence de Jong. He puts the needle of a record player onto a record and we see Florence superimposed on the spinning gramophone (probably from a later compilation).

Various shots of Florence, in a bejewelled jacket over a black evening dress, sitting at the organ and playing excerpts from well-known tunes - Le Misere from Il Trovatore by Verdi, the Sylvia Ballet by Delibes (dancing girls in long dresses are superimposed in one corner of the shot), The Swan - Saint Sasens, Grand March from Tannhauser by Wagner.
