The skinny, long-faced Texas
kid, whose trumpet blows tones
and pay-of purest gold, has
reached a milestone. A biograph-
ical book is being written about
Harry Haag James. Why, it's
more than can be said Of his
famous wife, Betty Cradle!
The story will relate that Harry
1.-THE Horn" James was born near
ly "a years ago in Albany, Ga. A
circus, the Mighty Haag Show
(for whose owner Harry was
named, had just performed
there. Harry's father, Everette
James. played cornet and led the
band. Harry's mother did an IRON
jaw aerial act, hanging by her
teeth SO feet in the air.
She kept this up till month
before Harry was born, and re-
joined the circus 13 days later.
Harry grew up on the road half
of every year. with his mother as
his teacher. The other half he was
in school at Houston, where their
show had winter quarters.
When he was 4, the family
joined Christy Brothers Circus
Harry, at 6, stood in front of the
band in a snappy blue uniform
with brass buttons, beating a
small snare drum. Other kids
razzed him about his long
golden curls.
Trumpet Dads Idea.
When Harry was only S. he
did a back-bending act with a
79-year-old contortionist, billed as
the youngest and Oldest in the
business. A mastoid operation
stopped further acrobatics.
The trumpet cornet to start
with-was Harry's dads idea
After school in winter quarters
the elder James would have sew
eral bars of practice penciled out
AS soon as Harry could perform
them, whether it took five min
utes or two hours, he could 60 out
to play baseball.
In the circus, Harry worked up
from fifth player to first chair
