Bohumir Kryl is heard on the video. Here's an interesting little story about Mr. Kryl in his formative years.

About BOHUMIR KRYL 1875-1961, now the story goes, that one day young Mr. Kryl was taking a lesson in Chicago and the teacher said to him, Mr. Kryl, when you walk home tonight don't you have to go over by part of Lake Michigan and Bohumir said yes sir, I do. His teacher preceded to say when you get out by the lake I wish you would do yourself, me and the entire world a big favor, and Bohumir Kryl said what's that sir ? His teacher said, when you get out by Lake Michigan you take that horn out of it's case and throw it as far into Lake Michigan as you possibly can, because you will never be a cornet player !
As we know now, Bohumir Kryl became one of the greatest players of all time.

Bio: Czech-American financial executive and art collector who is most famous as a cornetist, bandleader, and pioneer recording artist, for both his solo work and as a leader of popular and Bohemian bands. He was one of the major creative figures in the era of American music known as the "Golden Age of the Bands."

It seems an arm from The Lady of The Lake emerged from the waters, caught the horn and saved it for another day.
