Edward Friedman that was billed as "Ted

When his brother tired of show business Ted moved to New York and got

stranded. Ted briefly returned to Circleville before moving to New York in
1915 where he formed a band that played at the College Cabaret at
Coney Island.
In 1916 Lewis joined Earl Fuller's band which had engagements at the
Aux Caprice Domino Room and Rector's supper club in Manhattan. It was
in Fuller's group that Ted Lewis rose to fame and made his first
recordings in 1917. The success of the Original Dixieland Jess Band had
opened the doors for other hot and novelty syncopated orchestras and
Earl Fuller's Famous Jazz Band was the most successful of the bunch.
Lewis' wild stage antics and crazy clarinet sound stole the show and by
1919 he had left Fuller's band and started his own group which was
featured in the "Passing Show of 1919" and the "Greenwich Village
Follies" of 1919 through 1922.
When not taking part in these productions Lewis and his band were busy
performing at Manhattan nightclubs such as the Bal Tabarin and the
Montmarte and recording for Columbia. When not taking part in these
