(Special to The Review.)
Minneapolis, Minn., August 7, 1905.
Ralph Kenny, the solo trombonist and com-
poser of the instrumental hit, "Yokohana," has
left for Chicago, where he is to fulfill an engage-
ment of a week. While there he will visit the
Chicago publishers, for the purpose of interesting
them in some of his compositions, as well as
some vocal work by himself in collaboration with
Oscar F. G. Day, of The Tribune, who wrote the
words to "My Octoroon Lady," "My Jap From
Tokio," Jessie Bartlett Davis' song, "When I Am
Yours," and "On a Holiday." The two make a
fine team, and they hope, to land with one of the
Chicago houses.

"TAMMANY" THE CRAZE.
From Astoria, Ore., comes the news that tran-
scriptions of the popular craze, "Tammany," are
being sung to loud applause at each performance
in the Star Theatre, that city, by Glenroy and
Russel. These transcriptions, or paraphrases,
which were written by Herman Wise, are in
praise of the B. P. O. Elks and the Eagles. Mr.
Wise has also written a paraphrase of local in-
terest in Astoria of "I Can't Do that Sum," from
"Babes in Toyland." Glenroy and Russel are
singing this also. Both the songs referred to are
originally Witmark publications.
