First Line of Dialogue or Text

Lake Ponchatrain Pavillion - 1914.

Characters

Joe Oliver; Louis Armstrong

Synopsis

A young Louis Armstrong and his mother are new arrivals in New Orleans in 1914. His mother encourages Louis to play his horn at an outdoor event, but he doesn't want to because it is raining. Joe Oliver (then called the King of Jazz) encourages Louis, and he does play his horn. As he plays, the rain stops and the sun comes out.

Indexer Notes

The first three pages are completely done in muted shades of greenish-gray. The fourth page, as Louis starts to play, is also the muted greenish-gray color, with just a few spots of color on the last rain drops reflecting the emerging sunlight. The last two pages are in full color.

This is a cropped and enlarged portion of the front cover art, done in black and white. The image is cropped so that only the woman's face and hair is visible. The Mardi Gras-style mask and most of the hair ribbons that are shown on the front cover have been cropped out of this illustration.
