area of about 2,400 square miles, with
a very small population, mostly fisher
men and turtle hunters. The islands
get their name, Galapagos, from the
abundance of tortoises found along
their shores.
The construction of the Panama canal
has turned attention. both in Ecuador
and the United States, to the ady!sa-
bility of making the transfer, but as
far back as 1851 negotiations between
the two countries looking to that end
were carried on. At that time the Gala

United States was concerned in pre-

A "Reminiscences Of robin Hood"

With the sweetness of Robin Hood"
always there Is carried the memory of
these first days when Robin was young
and the Bostonians-sainted singers
made the land merry with their tunes.
They we're in their heyday at time
which had not yet dreamed of the pyro-
technical broadway production" with
its astounding "bevy of beauties" and
super-barbaric music. All they had in
the way of entertainment were good
voices. clean acting and an opera which
turned out to be gem of purest ray.
One Of these Bostonians, afterward
famous. was George B. rockingham,
known widely and loved well as Friar
Tuck in robin Hood" Dick Deadeye
in "Pinafore." Fomex In THE Serenade"
and sometimes the Mikado in the opera
of the same name.
It was nine years ago almost to the
day that The Star sent a cub reporter
to interview rockingham, and by
chance 1t sent a cub who had grown up
to love the opera and to have that re-
spect for rockingham that comes to
many Of US when we persist in believ-
ing the make-believe atmosphere
across the footlights.
Since then rockingham has been
gathered to his fathers and sleeps In a
of Maine. But he told the cub reporter
many interesting things. One Of these
was that the famous cardinals curse
in front of the jail In robin Hood"
was his own invention. 1t had not
been written into the piece, but it is
there to stay today. Also, Frothing-
ham told the cub, as he sat enthralled
for the drst time on dressing room
trunk. that he also invented that stir
ring episode in the forest where Friar
Tuck catches a squeaking rat and
throws II into the stew.
Then rockingham told all about his
little place" in Maine, where he spent
weeks fishing and loaf1ng. but the epi-
sode of the squeaking rat seemed to be
most important to The interviewer; So
important was 1t that few years later
when he took q fve-year-old son to
Robin Hood" so that father and son
alike could say their earliest recol-
lection of the stage was at a perform
ance of Robin Hood" with George B.
rockingham as Friar Tuck. the father
made a careful explanation to the
young theater goer that the forthcom-
ing rat business was stage magic and
invented by the old funny man in
brown.
Very good. The squeaking rat made
the heaviest impression on the youngs-
ter. So much so. that later on in the
forest scene when the stew had been
made and q Hitting love song or some-
thing of the sort was being sung, Friar
Tuck was leaning on pole, with his
which the pot was simmering
Whereupon the little boy, choosing a
moment when the audience was entire
iy silent, stood up suddenly and asked
in a mighty voice:
rs Friar Tuck looking at his rat?'
