In New York.

New York-Meanderings: Harry Kemp, the hobo poet (well,anyway. the itinerant poet), is back in Greenwich Village. s
 A few years ago he was one of the veteran Bohemians who de- serted the quarter on account of high rents and a bourgeois inva- sion. Rents are low again and the Village Is welcoming its long haired prodigals. Kemp, the tramper-on-life, is writing another novel. =.
 Incidentally, not all of the Vil- lagers are paying rent these days; some of them are squatters. The technique Is to find a house that has been vacant for some time. get in by one device or another (gen- orally through the back door), have a key made, and take possess sion. If the owner comes around with policeman the squatter claims to have. rented the house from a man who said he was.sa renting agent. With old, unprofit- able buildings which are owned by estates, through, the agents seldom come around. .s
 Ono such place on Grove

The only exceptions were waitresses. who were employ ed for an uncomfortable year dur ing the war, and the widows of de- ceased club presidents, who were escorted with due ceremony to see their husba nds' portraits hung.

 What with the inroads of Holly wood and the demands of a good theatrical season, there aren't any beautiful and talented girls left on Broadway. Or so, at least, wailsSB. G. .DeSylva, the film producer, who's going back empty-handed after a two-weeks' search for new faces along the gay-way. .e.
  Musical Family
 The pride of Tin Pan Alley right now is the Tobias family, which has three song-writlng brothers Charley, Harry and Henry-and a fourth named Milton who's begin- ming to take an interest in the game. Charles wrote "In the Valley of the Moon," When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver," Somebody Loves You" and lot more., Harry contributed Sweet and Lovely and I'm Sorry, Dear" to the hit list; and Henry is, the author of "Katinka" and Along Came Love-" s@, ;it s,s5 's' Maybe you've forgotten that "Yes, We Have No Bananas" was written in 1922. and by a pair of unknowns named Frank Silvers. and Irving Cohn. They made about $30,000 each on the piece, and Sil- vers apparently took his share and lit out for Timbuctoo. At anyr-rate. Cohn, who's now an: orchestra leader hereabout, hasn't been able to find him. Cohn says the .banana song was done as stunt for their orchestra, and that neither had any idea of publishing it until the pub fishers themselves finally convinced them that 1t was a hit. & "a
