When his brother tired of show business Ted moved to New
York and got a job playing clarinet and saxophone at El Dorado
Cafe in New York. Ted then teamed up with a young singer
named Jack Lewis and they called their act "Lewis and Lewis".
From then on Ted Friedman went by the last name of Lewis.
"Lewis and Lewis" disbanded after a disastrous vaudeville tour
of Canada in December of 1912 and January of 1913 which left
them broke and 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.
