Hans, I think that you are remembering "You're Darn Tootin'" (1928)
IMDB lists it <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019607/> I found couple of stills from this movie years ago. One apparently shows them being evicted by their "mean old lady" character actor landlady and the other shows them looking downcast in a confrontation with their bandmaster. The credits list Hardy as Ollie, the French Horn Player, but he is holding a circular mellophone that looks somewhat hornlike. There is at least one real horn player in the band sitting in the background of this scene. The bandshell looks a lot like the one on the mall in Central Park ( http://www.centralpark2000.com/database/naumburg_bandshell.html) and may well be since this structure dates back to 1923. I'd love to know who the "real" horn player would have been, but I doubt that this can be tracked down. For all I know, it could have been Jaenicke or one of the other big names of the era - I'm sure that movie work was lucrative then, even if it was a silent movie. If anyone is interested, I can make a scanned copy of one or both of these images available (for educational purposes only).
