Re: 1916 Ballets Russes clarinetist?

Again, I'm not answering your question, but here's something I found about Nahan Franko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahan_Franko He was born in New Orleans, and his nephew was Edwin Franko Goldman.

I could be wrong, but from the little I've been able to find, I'm not sure that there was always a "regular" full-time orchestra that toured with the Ballet Russes. I wonder if local musicians were hired to form an orchestra when the Ballet Russes was in town (or in the country). You can read more about Daniel Bonade here:

When Bonade joined the touring company, he had already been in America for a year.
