short time but has been a smash hit in such places as the strand theatre the aquarium restaurant and many other places buddy himself has had a long and successful career in the show world he started his rise to fame at the age of two when he was part of his parents vaudeville act wilson and rich it was in these vaudeville theatres that young buddy first started playing the drums when his parents would leave him in the wings of the theatre buddy would crawl into the orchestra pit climb on to the drummer's lap and beg for the drum sticks a few years later when buddy was five he was featured in the greenwich village follies of 1923 in one seene — the village toyshop — everything was built around his drum specialty at seven he toured australia honolulu and all points east he then made a tour of the country and was seen by president wilson at the keith theatre in washing ton d c the president was so impressed with the rhythmic young man that he had an audi ence with him backstage jam sessions start career buddy was in his late teens when he decided to play with a band a series of jam sessions at the crystal cafe in his home town brooklyn was the first step tow ard this ambition it was here that joe marsala first heard him and gave him a job after he left mar sala's band he joined leith ste vens the band that was noted at the time for its saturday night swing club sessions over cbs buddy's next job was with the famous bunny berrigan artie shaw heard buddy and was amazed at his ability he asked buddy to join the shaw band buddy stayed with shaw about a year and while with this band he added greatly to his list of fans about this time tommy dorsey was changing the style of his or chestra he had enlisted sy oliver to write arrangements for him and had hired musicians that could do justice to the fine rhythmic writ ings of sy — the only lacking spot was the drummer dorsey needed some one who could add the ne cessary punch to the band and it was here that he hired buddy rich buddy was associated with dorsey for six years has personality after returning to dorsey's band when discharged from two years service with the marine corps buddy started to formulate plans for a band of his own one day while filming mgm^s thrill of a romance with the dorsey band he ran into frank sinatra an old pal from pre-war dorsey days they talked over the possibili ties of buddy's band and when they met a few months later in new york sinatra told him to go ahead and start rehearsals that he would put up the beginning capi tal so the buddy rich orchestra was born buddy rich is one of the few bands leaders of the day who can not be condemned for a lack of personality though he makes no effort at being a showman he is naturally one of the greatest in the business whether he is be hind his set of drums down front singing or tap dancing or just standing on the band stand his showmanship dominates for this quality he was elected show man of the year by metrenome magazine
