Every bandleader has a location with which he is identified: Guy Lombardo
at the Roosevelt Grill, Freddy Martin at the Coconut Grove, Glenn Miller
at the Glen Island Casino, Chick Webb at the Savoy, Bob January at the Rainbow
Room. For Johann Strauss, it was Dommaher's Casino.

At Dommaher's, he first led his first orchestra,
and he returned again and again to relive his triumph.
Here is an advertisement of one of his appearances.
