Ono night in 1817 while he was eating dinner in a cheap restaurant on the Barbary Coast, San Fran cisco, Paul Whiteman resolved to rise from poverty to wealth and to make his nemo famous throughout the world. At that time he was a violinist in a cheap cafe orchestra —a part time violinist at part time pay. As he ate, an outlaw quintet entered the restaurant and began to play a medley of jazz from tho African Jungle. To him it seemed that Jess wu merely a state of mind, a mood, which appealed to human beings seeking to relax. He believed that jazz music, properly introduced, would become popular and he determined to make it ao. A week later he resigned and formed a dance orchestra with fif teen pieces. Ills musicians were fired with his enthusiasm and agreed to work without pay for a time. In addition to his horns, piano and drum ho added two violins, a cello, and a saxaphone and proceeded to hold public con certa on street comers and in parks. Great crowds gathered to watch his antics and so popular did he become that his fame swept Eastward. A year later he was offered the posi tion of orchestra leader in the new Ambassador Hotel at Atlantic City. He was given a four-year contract at a fabulous salary. During the HADLEY <v following year the management of the Palais Royal, in New York, got the jazz fever and Paul Whiteman was engaged. His salary was doublo that of the seaside resort. Today, at the age of 34, White- man is one of the most popular or chestra leaders in America and Europe. Last year, whilo in Lon don, he played before the King and Quoen of England, and n week later th« British metropolis "took on” American jazz. Paul Whiteman’s wealth today is said to bo in six figures. He was bom in Denver in 1890.
