TIE man who made the banjo pop
ular and Who lived 70 zee Il decline IN
favor died the other day in New York
city. He vas Frank B. Converse, and
he was known IS "the father 81 the
banjo" says the New York Sun
Mr.. Converse was born at Westheld,
HasS. IN 1887. He came Of q musical
family. His brother. Charles Converse,
has written many hymn tunes and an
ITEMS.
The family moved to Elmira when
Mr.. Converse was boy, and there he
was educated. At Is he left his home
70 become q musician. He drifted into
9 minstrel company. travelled over the
country and appeared later in London
with Pony Moore and the Christy COM
pany.
Il was as q performer on the banjo
that Mr.. Converse was known princl-
palIy, and he composed for the instru-
ment and wrote for It. He continued
TO teach the instrument after he retired
from the stage a quarter OF q century
ago, and most Of the noted old-time
players were his pupils.
The banjo was a very simple eontri-
vance when he began to use II in his
minstrel turns, and he did much to de-
velop It into what Il Is to-day.
Mr.. Converse's widow Is Harriet
Maxwell Converse, the author, lectur-
er and authority on Indian lore.
The decline Of the banjo followed
soon after the public interest in min
strel performances began to decrease.
II Is rarely heard on the stage now,
even In vaudeville performances, and
even the college clubs have lost their
old enthusiasm for Il. Now It Is not
even used to tie ribbons on.
