The Savoy Orpheans were formed by former army bandmaster Debroy Somers in 1923 and were resident at the Savoy Hotel until contractual wrangles between W. F. De Mornys entertainments manager at the Savoy and the hotel company led to the orchestra disbanding on New Year's Eve 1927. During their four year tenure the Orpheans were among the cream of British dance bands and "patterned their instrumentation arrangements and classy presentations upon Whiteman's model" Baade p. 25. This attractive publication was printed at the Baynard Press which "employed highly skilled craftsmen. and printed many of London Transport's pictorial posters. the Baynard Press was amongst the largest and most technically accomplished printing firms in Britain" Science Museum.

1937ref. 124905Moscow: Upravlenie tsirkov V.K.I. Circus Administration 1937. Uncommon print run of just 8000 copies. An advertisement for the Soviet Little peoples' circus group the "Musical and Eccentric Group of Lilliputians" founded in late 1920s under direction of Mikhail Kachuriner 1896-1976 and continued until shortly after his death. The main accent was always on musical talent the performers having musical instruments specially made for them although the group did include performers of "normal" height. "Lilliputian Jazz"was probably the most popular of similar circus groups of the time their first programme "Cinema Jazz" was a parody of some the great stars of the silver screen; Mary Pickford Charlie Chaplin Douglas Fairbanks and the like. A striking example of the work of Mikhail Dlugach 1893-1988 prolific graphic designer and poster artist whose early career centred on the film industry joining Reklam Film the dvertising department of the Soviet film agency. A member of AKhRR The Association of the Artists of the Revolution and ORRP The Association of Revolutionary Poster Artists in the 30s he continued to work in film but diversified into agitprop and exhibition design. In 1940 he helped to design the exhibition pavilion at the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow. During the Second World War Dlugach he was was evacuated to Ufa and worked for Okna TASS creating war propaganda. After the war he continued working as a poster designer in politics and the arts including circus promotions. In 1958 he was one of the team involved in the design and building of the Soviet pavilion at the International Exhibition in Brussels. An attractive and unusual piece much enhanced by the presence of the pictorial programme. Lithographically printed colour poster 905 x 580 mm; together with Kino-dzhaz. Odessa: 1935. 4-page "broadsheet" promotional brochure graphics and images printed in sepia letterpress in black. A few minor chips and splits professionally repaired light creases from old folds consequent whitening of the print surface but remains very good. Presented in a black wooden frame with conservation acrylic glazing; the brochure lightly browned creases from folds some edge-slits but overall very good. unknown
1947ref. 133392Prague: 1947-48 & 1952. Jazz in Cold War Czechoslovakia First and only editions of both of these short-lived fugitive publications. The complete run of Jazz offers a fascinating view of the times. A well-produced illustrated magazine that features reviews pen pictures and features on American and other western jazz performers the editorial direction changed radically following the coup d'état of 1948. The contrast between the final issue before the February 1948 putsch and the first issue afterwards reveals a complete reinterpretation of jazz Czech critic Ján Dalecký remarking that "In the introduction alone which was full of ideological terms we could see that the magazine had taken a 180 degree turn" reviews of Soviet performers began to proliferate. WorldCat locates a single run at the University of Delaware. It is doubtful that more than a handful of each issue of the 1952 journal would have been produced. Extremely uncommon no other copies traced it is impossible to say whether any more was ever produced. Highly risky samizdat published at a time when in Czechoslovakia merely singing jazz lyrics in English was against the law. Both issues heavily promote the AFN American Forces Network radio station providing the jazz schedule for upcoming week including the AFN Hit Parade programme and other western European broadcasts featuring jazz. Also includes a short story about a Czechoslovak family whose lives are utterly transformed by listening to AFN; reviews of current American jazz releases; interviews with Czech jazz musicians and reviews of local jazz-related concerts.

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20’s Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings thank you and recommendation letters as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewis’s orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace and stated “I have taken the Garden which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast.” C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co. department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16 1926 that “I don’t think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation.” Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple Congress Hotel leading McElroy’s Oregonians at the McElroy’s Spanish Ballroom the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewis’s leaving stating “I realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization.” McElroy 1888-1947 was known as “Pop” McElroy was a popular band leader who during the years before World War I and after played the Palm Gardens often and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926 and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station KGW Radio Station and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road fully arrayed on stage in the Radio Station posing at various venues stages and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield formerly with Henry Halsted band William Webber on drums Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players G. Berardinelli on Bass and also played dances at the Irvington Club Multnomah Athletic Club and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland which had been the City’s first reinforced concrete building erected during the Progressive Era and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall now the Crystal Ballroom initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929 and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929 leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday Sept. 18 1929 driving 40 mph and getting 19 miles to the gallon with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside OR which had opened originally June 19 1920 and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era including Lyle E. Lewis Cole McElroy Duke Ellington Bob Crosby Glenn Miller and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow after playing McElroy’s Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis 1890-1948 was a popular Portland Oregon based jazz band & orchestra leader who managed to lie about his age and enlist at 15 in the Oregon National Guard Co. G 3rd Battalion served for three years and in May 1910 married Genevieve Franklin while working as salesman and musician before World War I Following the War he quickly became a successful band leader including successful stints with the Cole McElroy Spanish Ballroom Congress Hotel Multnomah Hotel Bungalow Garden Ballroom as well as the Coronado Hotel in California. As indicated by the daily diaries he maintained a fairly close relationship with his daughter Genevieve “Martha” but became largely estranged from his wife Genevieve living in separate rooming houses or hotels. Still in her position as a sales manager she managed to convince Meier & Frank to hire him as their house band for store functions and the restaurant while during the Great Depression he mostly worked for the US Forest Service mapping division while his show business largely disappeared. By 1943 he became the commercial agent for ACME Fast Freight where he worked as commercial agent until his death. This cataloguer could find no surviving recorded discography record for Lyle E. Lewis and his assorted incarnations although there are a few recordings for the Cole McElroy Band from 1926-1928 which most likely would have included him as band leader and musician. Lyle E.
