a fight on the island against accept
ance by Porto RicanS of American
citizenship. died yesterday after a
long illness.
Although Porto Rican born, Balbas
was considered always strongly pro-
Spanish and after 1898 at times vio-
lently anti-American. He headed a
group of 28S men who rejected Amer
lean citizenship in 1917.
In earlier days he was noted both

new TUNE DEVICE
INSTALLED AT
WARDMAN

Those who attended the per-
Torrance Of "Cyrano de Der.
gerac" at the Wardman Park
Theater, this week, were also
present at the worlds premiere
of the Remaphone, the latest
mechanical process for synchron.
iZing music to the screen.
The process was devised by
Robert e. Machat, a motion pic
ture musician of this city, and
was so cleverly synchronized as
to deceive a large portion of the
auditors into believing that an
orchestra was concealed behind
the wings of the stage.
The Remaphone was introduced
without making the fact known to
the public previously in order to
learn exactly how we'll the syn
chronization would work out. It
was still in the last stages of de-
Velopment taPn.
The test OF the new instrument
came toward the end of "Cyrano
de Bergerac," when Roxane, the
heroine, is listening to the ring
ing of a bell in a nunnery, while
awaiting Cyrano. At the precise
moment when the bell struck on
the screen, the sound was repro
duced for the audience.
The Remaphone will be used
during the entire run of "Cyrano
de Bergerac, which is being held
over for a second week.

TO
ORDER BY
MIR. STARKE

Frequently during the spirited
action Of Three Bad Men" the
epic OF the West during the land
rush days, which is being shown
for the first time in Washington
at Crandalls Metropolitan and
Ambassador Theaters, beginning
this afternoon at 3, there are
flashed upon the screen the lyrics
Of a song inveterately sung by
the character in the play imper.
sonated by George O'Brien. Dan
iel Breeskin, conductor OF the
Metropolitan Symphony, exerted
every effort to identify and locate
this song in an actual compost
ton and in publication, but with
out success. He even went so far
as to delegate Fred Starke, man
ager of the Metropolitan Sym
phony, to spend a day at the Con-
gressional Library searching the
music division for possible trace
Of this supposedly popular ballad
Of approximately the year 1876.
Not having been successful in
his search Mr.. Starke composed
a special number and made COM
plete symphonic arrangements for
the full orchestra OF the Metro
politan in the spirit, tempo and
style of songs prevalent in 1876.
1t is important to knew that this
was necessary by reason Of the
fact that the song has a direct
bn1 ri hn NJ
the story as for example that
other coWpuncher ballad, "A
Thousand Cattle Straying," sung
throughout the development of
Owen Wisters play of 1.-The Vir-
ginian," in which Frank Campeau
as Trampas played the part of a
cattle rustler with such dramatic
and thrilling effect as TO place
him among the foremost character
actors Of our stage.
It is further interesting to OBJ
serve that Frank Campeau APP
pears as one of the three bad
men in this special Fox produc-
ton in association with j. Far
rell Macdonald and Tom Santschi
in the other title roles. Another
coincidence is that Frank Cam
peau played the part of Trampas
in the original company present

Farnum as star and Tom SAINT

cordons about the gibbet, and
with drawn pistols overawed any
body who might feel inclined TO
interfere.
It was the custom Of the Vigil
1antes to send out riders, arrest
the desperadoes whose misdeeds
had earned death, and hold trial.
1t was quick. Then came a ver-
dict of guilty with the penalty,
death by hanging, invariably at
once. The rope was ready, the
limb of a cottonwood tree was
usually available and the con-
demned either walked of NOV
ing wagon or had soap box
kicked from beneath his feet.
A historically correct illustra-
ton of the earnestness with which
the Vigilantes enforced law is pic

director would give his attention

Wood was agreeable with the
proviso that Grange would abide

Oranges part for he and Wilson
battled with all the vigor that

of US, obscurcd by fame's capri

and the play.
People have actually clicked
the number of times he laughed,
and one reviewer, two years
ago, paid more attention to
reviewing the President than he
did to the performance, and
likely as not that appraisal
helped to further diminish the
Presidents interest in the the
alter.
| said above that interest is
divided between him and the
cast. Truthfully, interest is
concentrated in him. The actors
relax between acts. The Presi-
dent, with the lights on, becomes
the target for every eye in the
house, and cognizant he cannot
fail to be that his freedom and

strates the initiative of the
booking agent.
The Executive, as will be
remembered, spent weekend
this past summer at his boy
hood home. On Saturday night
the townfolk-all % of them
threw their weekly dance. The
newspapermen and photogra-
pliers attached to the presidential
party, having nothing better to
do, attended and watched a
series Of "Portland' FanciAs,"
Lady Washingtons," Morning
Stars" and other variations of
the Quadrille for an hour or so.
Music was supplied by the same
orchestra now about to venture
into variety.
When the party returned to
Paul Smiths several of the boys
went visiting at Camp Intermis-
sion, summer place Of William
Morris. The conversation turned
to Plymouth and the story was
told of this fiddle-and-clarinet
combination, whose chief distinc-
ton was that all started and
stopped playing at the same
time. The fact that they were
all related to the President-as
is almost everyone in that i'm
mediate vicinity-also was men
toned.
Morris said nothing, but a
week later his son, William, jr.,
was at Plymouth listening to
the same music as exploded in
the town hall over the cross
roads store. And now they're
