"The Jazz Band Leader", also known as "The Ragtime Band", is a short comedy. The film is included in our program to illustrate the contributions of our star Helen Holmes.

This is one of the first roles of Helen Holmes, in which she appears as a village beauty. She became the audacious star of "The Hazards of Helen" a year and a half later, acting as the heroine of numerous railroad adventures.
