By 1929, the BBC complained that the agents of many comedians refused to sign contracts for broadcasting, because they feared it harmed the artist "by making his material stale" and that it "reduces the value of the artist as a visible music-hall performer". On the other hand, the BBC was "keenly interested" in a cooperation with the recording companies who "in recent years ... have not been slow to make records of singers, orchestras, dance bands, etc. who have already proved their power to achieve popularity by wireless." Radio plays were so popular that the BBC had received 6,000 manuscripts by 1929, most of them written for stage and of little value for broadcasting: "Day in and day out, manuscripts come in, and nearly all go out again through the post, with a note saying 'We regret, etc.'"<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the 1930s music broadcasts also enjoyed great popularity, for example the friendly and wide-ranging <a href="/wiki/BBC_Theatre_Organ" title="BBC Theatre Organ">BBC Theatre Organ</a> broadcasts at <a href="/wiki/St._George%27s_Hall,_London" title="St. George's Hall, London">St George's Hall</a>, London by <a href="/wiki/Reginald_Foort" title="Reginald Foort">Reginald Foort</a>, who held the official role of BBC Staff Theatre Organist from 1936 to 1938.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_World_War">Second World War</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_(38562767202).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg/170px-George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg/255px-George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg/340px-George_Orwell_statue_-_BBC_London_%2838562767202%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3024" data-file-height="4032" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Statue_of_George_Orwell" title="Statue of George Orwell">Statue of George Orwell</a> outside <a href="/wiki/Broadcasting_House" title="Broadcasting House">Broadcasting House</a>, headquarters of the BBC</figcaption></figure> <p>Television broadcasting was suspended from 1 September 1939 to 7 June 1946, during the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, and it was left to <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio" title="BBC Radio">BBC Radio</a> broadcasters such as Reginald Foort to keep the nation's spirits up.
