0. L. THOMAS PLAYS HANDCRAFT
Saxophonist Featured with Panico's Orchestra Calls
Martin Saxophone "Best in World."
Oliver L. Thomas, to the host of musicians and
music lovers throughout the country, is just plain
"Ollie." Mr. Thomas is the featured saxophone
player with Louis Panico's Orchestra in St. Louis,
and is known to thousands of music lovers through-
out America as the result of his appearance in many
of the larger cities on the Keith vaudeville circuit.
He is regarded as one of the leading saxophone play-
ers of the country.
Louis Panico, formerly featured cornetist with the
Isham Jones Orchestra, in building up his own organ-
ization naturally sought players of the highest caliber.
It followed that he should in this process get the
name of O. L. Thomas on a contract. Mr. Thomas
plays a Martin Handcraft saxophone and unhesitat-
ingly calls it the best saxophone in the world.
