This English card was written to the Reynolds Agency in Sheffield and signed simply Tripp. "Tripp" must be "the King of Saxophonists" himself.  The youngest memeber of the trio is playing a Stroh violin.        Did the Trippellos make any records?   Do they show up in any histories of British music hall performers?   What was the Great Levy's Famous Triple Whirlwind?   May 2010:  The saxophonist is John Troppello (a stage name).  His eldest son was Jan and his youngest son was Andre who both later led bands under the names Jan Ralfini and Archie Andre.  Archie Andre's band included the famous drummer Jimmy Blades. The young woman is likely to be Jean Christie who sang with them. Regarding the Great Levy's Whirlwind, this is likely to refer to Jules Levy's Whirlwind Polka which required great skill to play.  Jan Ralfini made the only known commerical recordings of this piece.   My thanks to John Goodliffe for offering these wonderful details to the story.   May 2009:  The young boy playing a Stroh violin in this photo is Jan Ralfini (born in London in 1896) who was billed in his first public appearances at the age of 8 as "Boy Violin Virtuoso."  The saxophonist in the picture above is his father who first took up saxophone as a classical instrument, then moving on to ragtime in the early years of the 1900s.  As a duo, Jan Ralfini and his father billed themselves as Signor Tripello and the Boy Prodigy and later as the Trippello Quartet.  They even played alongside Charlie Chaplin at some point in the very early 1900s. Jan Ralfini's career was interrupted by W.W.I but he returned to the stage at the dawn of the Jazz Age when the war ended, first appearing as the Dancing Violinist and then gradually assembling his own jazz orchestra and dance band.  By 1926 he led a 12 piece orchestra playing prestigious London night spots and recording extensively. in England.  Many famous British music hall performers and soloist worked in Ralfini's ensembles and he became a prominent talent and booking agent for several other bands under his name and a talent agent for many popular English performers.  Jan Ralfini passed away in 1976.   My thanks to Linda Binder for uncovering the back story of the astounding Trippellos.
