Frank Silver, So,
Helped to Write
Banana Song Hit

NEW YORK, June IA (AP).
Frank Silver, 58-year-old or
chestra leader who teamed with
a member of his band to write
the oldtime hit song, Yes, We
Have No Bananas" died yes
terday of a cerebral hem
orrhage.
The inspiration for the song
was an utterance of a Long Is
land fruit peddler in 1922. The
phrase intrigued Mr.. Silver so
much that he and his piano
player, Irving Conn, worked
out a novelty tune based on it.
The song became a big hit
In 1928 and still brings in
royalties, though mostly from
abroad now. Once in France
it was played at a funeral in
response to a request of the
deceased.
Mr.. Silver. who was born
Frank Silverstadt in Boston,
had in recent years devoted
himself to supplying orchestras
for special events. He also
wrote other novelty songs, such
as "Icky Wicky Woo" and
