>>This doesn't answer your question, but Daniel Bonade toured America with Ballet Russe in 1917, after which Stokowski engaged him to stay and play in Philly. Perhaps he was also there in 1916, but if anyone knows the Lincoln Center people mentioned above could find them.

You steered me in the right direction. I searched "Daniel Bonade"+"Ballets Russes" online and found confirmation through the University of Maryland website. The university has a collection of Bonade's papers. He did indeed join that tour in 1916. There's plenty more information out there, too, now that I've got the name. What good luck that the Ballet hired a clarinet player who's so well-known today.

Thank you for the information about Nahan Franko, clarinetguy. Knowing something about the concertmaster will help make those scenes credible.
