song a true folksong Of the people and ex-
uemeIy popular in the islands
A bit cognate to the effects produced by

For real, foot-tlctling dance music moth
lHs can beat banjo. and when you have
a whole orchestra of them why. then. you

one OF the best numbers written for this
favorite dance

IN native Hawaiian music. It is sung by
tenor and octette, with guitar and ukalelc

Four more records for the Victor by the
famous Hurtado Brothers Royal Marimba
Band will serve to show how well deserved

Leaves" make one very interesting record,
and Strauss Artists Life Waltz" and a
medley of American airs constitute the
other.
THE Kangaroo Hop" played for Columbia
by the Blue and White Marlmba Band, is 4
joy record if there ever was one.
A blthe Celtic air played by the Blue
and White Marimba Band is an unusual
combination offered in record form by Co
lumbia. oh Joe, With Your Fiddle and
Your Bow, You Stole My Heart Away is
a charming ditty in itself. but the Marimba
orchestration gives it an emotional appeal
that goes to the heart.
