trip back was something of an adven-

there I got special permission from

Cripple Creek History.

The district about Cripple Greek,
Colo. swarmed with prospectors in
the 1S70s and 1905, but each report
OF finding gold in abundance there
proved false and for several years
thereafter the region contained only
q lonely cattle ranch and a few pros
pectors who continued the search.
But on the Fourth of July, 1891, the
famous Independence vein, on what
Is now the site of Victor, transformed
the region into one of the greatest
producing districts of the world.

The only trouble was that the
clarinet was not a clarinet, but
q straight soprano SaXophone.
The orchestra leader is still using
the picture for advertising pur-
poses in New York papers and still
claims the Saxophone is clarinet.
OF course he knows better even II
Believe it or not" Ripley did not
know the difference.
A clarinet is a narrow-bodied
straight bored instrument, while
the soprano Saxophone has a taper
bore which is probably three times
the diameter Of a clarinet near
the bell. The instrument pictured
III the cartoon was Enthusiastically
a soprano saxophone.
The question arises as to how
much of duet could be played by
the same player on two saxophones
or a SaXophone and a clarinet.
While all woodwind instruments
are constructed so that the left
hand is placed on the three upper
holes or pads, it is possible for
the right hand to play G, A. B. C,
and C sharp-a rather limited por.
ton Of a scale. Then the left
hand might play the same tones
on q Saxophone. But On a clar.
met in the lower register, the left
hand might play most Of the
chromatic scale from C to B flat,
or in the upper register, from G
to C sharp.
It will take little imagination to
figure the limited action possible
in playing q duet with ones self
on two woodwind instruments. On
two trumpets it is quite different.
With only three keys each, the en-,
tire range Of both instruments is
possible as far as the lingering is
concerned. We have heard George
White, who was featured a cou.

Former Broadway columnist
Rian James, now a leading see
narist on the Coast, breaks out
in the forthcoming American
Cavalcade" with a jeremiad, Ia
menting the monet..ry decisions
connected with a $500 a week
salary. Says James in part: Il
have just closed the first set OF
books I've kept in the five years
I've been in Hollywood. Out Of
the maze of figures my business
manager set down, My a few
were clear. But these few told
me enough to make me walk out
of a fifteen hundred dollar a
week Job and cut short career"
James goes on to explain how his
money went. His $500 weekly
check was pared to $1,462.50 by
deductions for the Motion Picture
Relief Fund and the Pension
FunL. The agent after taking
his cut, turned over 10 him a
check for $1,312.50. Managers
fees, Federal and State Income
Taxes, leave him $887.50. Then
the real expenses began until
James ended up with $120 a week
for himself.
Unfortunately, Mr.. James for
gets to mention that out of that
$500 a week he bought himself
a yacht city block long, a ranch,
several cars, an estate in Connecti-
cut, etc. Nor does he remember
to add that he cut short his career
by walking out of a $500 job
from one studio into $1,750 job
with another!
