...Some hope was seen in Ambassador Dawes at London. He is a musician of sorts himself: performs occasionally on the flute, has written a Melody in a Major which Violinist Fritz Kreisler rendered in a public concert at London last May and which thereupon became a best-seller throughout Britain.

He started a band of his own, borrowed money enough to take his men east where he got a job in the Ambassador Hotel, Atlantic City. His pianist, Ferdie Grofe, a brilliant technical musician, helped him greatly toward fame by his skilful arrangements of current songs. Whiteman himself can tell little about a composition from reading it; he puts in most of his own touches in re hearsal. Famed in the trade for his busi ness acumen, he hires the best and most expensive players...
