What Charleston News and Courier said of the -Frank Silver Band whicit is coming to the'Vamp Theatre be night, May 8th: Frank Silver, the chap who com posed the all-pervading “Yes, W'e Have No Bananas," is offering an unusual, but very agreeable, entertain ment in the nature of a jazz revue. Not only is Mr. Silver carrying a good orchestra of its kind, hut’his dancer is lithe, graceful and just brimming with enthusiasm. The Silver ente-- tainers were at the Academy of Music last night and the audience found pleasure in following the program. Mr. Silver does the conducting himself. He also looks after the Irum* and traps. «His orchestra has several novelty instruments and these are used to advantage. Earl Hurst {ittracts some attention because he is blowing the largest bass tube ever -Teh in the Southeast. It is an eno>-- mous instiumcrft hut his lungs appear amply powerful to give it ail it needs. At least one. interested onlooker sug gested that Mr. Hurst* horn resem bled the ventilator of a steamship.
