Antedating of "jug band"

[George Thompson]

 OED has 1946.

        Two Jugg Bands are coming to New York, after all.  One is of four pieces and the other has five.  ***  One Jugg Band goes to the new Palais Royal.
        Variety, March 16, 1917, p. 15, col. 4

I haven't searched Proquest Historical Newspapers, &c.
