Original Dixieland Jazz Band
reached Europe, Louis syn
copating Septette" was going
through ia Da" and Down
Home Rag" at the Alhambra
in Glasgow.
He then formed The Seven
Spades" who dug their way
to success" as an English re-
porter Of the era put it. In
1918 they went to France and
took the capital by storm.
Louis was soon joined by
Cricket Smith. an outstand-
ing cornetist, and the soprano
sax stylist, Sidney Bechet.
Taught Prince Of Wales
1t was in Montmartre where
Louis, as an impressario.
opened the Grand Due and
came into his own. This was
the club to which the Amer
leans in Paris repaired around
sun-up for bacon, eggs and
home cooking. The then
Prince of Wales (now the Duke
lof Windsor) went dancing
there. and Louis taught him to
play the drums.
He squandered several for
tunes in Europe, and after the
crash Of 1929. came back to
America. In later years, he
worked for Negro newspapers
and as a salesman, and had a
small gift and dress shop here.
Some said he could have re-
tired comfortably on the money
he spent on sports-tryine to
introduce baseball to Paris.
Louis death came as Sammy
Davis, jr., and Harry Belafonte
expressed interest in developing
a movie based on his life.
Suffering from a heart con-
dition for some time, he UNDER
went a strenuous heart opera
ton last November.
Discovered in Harlem
The boy who was discovered
by the late Bob Cole in the
early 1905 singing with a
group of friends on a front
stoop in Harlem and who lived
in a French villa in his best
years. told a reporter not long
ago. he'd do It all over again.
I'D like to set the record
straight" he said. "It's not the
name that's important. It's
how and why it happened. And
there's a lot of music long for
gotten that should be remem-
bered."
A London collector, one Of
two men known to have records
Louis made in his heydey, be-
lieves that they were the first
jazz discs ever made by q Negro
band.
Mr.. Mitchell is survived by
his widow Antoinette Of the
