The clarinet playing vaudevillian had very popular bands in the 1920's and 30's, but his playing was not it's feature - he would hire fine jazzmen such as clarinetists Don Murray, Jimmy Dorsey, Frank Teschemacher and Slats Long (and Benny Goodman, who we played on a previous show) as well as George Brunies and Muggsy Spanier . . great hot dance from 1928-1933.
