he went to the metropolis to make

one company offered him a $25,000
contract. He was fulfilling it when
he had an opportunity to replace Paul
Ash as orchestra leader and he left
for San Francisco, where he played 10

growing acclaim. So enthusiastic
were audiences becoming, in fact, that
Sam Katz offered the youthful musi-
clan q million dollar contract to serve
as musical director, master Of cere-
monies and feature act for q five-year
period.
It took only 1s months for some
one else to offer even more money
to the rising star and his contract with
Katz was mutually dissolved. The
biggest success of his life was achieved
IN Europe, where he went in 1880 to
play . seven-week engagement in
London and stayed for seven months.
While in London he played on many
occasions for King Edward VIII and
often saw the King and Mrs. Simpson
in one another's company, although
