Clinton, as David hasn't answered you might like to know that Pearl and Dean are a long existing U.K. Cinema Advertising agency. The adverts commenced and concluded with a short section originally with Roman Pillars that then changed to a short section with a tune that, whenever it played, everyone went pa pa pa pa pa to it. Rank Screen Advertising (which supplied adverts to their own Odeon and Gaumont cinemas) seemed to take much of their business in later years. They are still around but not, I think, in the Cinema supply business.

Thanks Dave,it's one of those thing that are only important or known to certain countries etc. A bit like "coming soon" titles with familiar tunes 🙂
