BeIasco--The Rose of the Rancho


BelascO-"The Rose of the Rancho"
David Belasco's latest dramatic Offering
20 reach Washington was shown last
night before one Of the largest audiences
OF the present season.
THE Rose OF the Rancho" which is IN
der the co-auth0rship Of Richard ". Tully
and Mr.. Belasco. is. Ike all productions
from the storehouse Of the BelascO
mind. brimful OF the quality known as
local color gOTgeously mounted with
that love Of detail and wealth Of magma
ton which characterizcs all his works.
The period or the history OF California
which gives THE Rose or the Rancho"
its story is that during which the United
States government took possession Of GER
tain territory. upon which resided the
original Spanish grantors. As far as any
historical accuracy is concerned, there is
nothing in the play at which the casual
student may cavil.
The scenes are all painted with an
artistic sense Of effectiveness, and convey
90 the spectator a peculiar sense Of that
languour and sensuousness regarded as
belonging 20 the Spanish temperament.
Yet there is a curious admixture Of
Spanish and United States in "The Rose
OF the Rancho" The heroine. the daugh-
ter Of a Mexican lady Of an old family,
and a 'Gringo." or Americana" is first
prating OF her fathers Yankee blood.
and then swearing her allegiance TO her
Castilhan ancestry.
The struggle between a bad "Gringo"
FROM the States. who endeavors to ac-
quire possession Of the senorita's family
ranch. and The government agent, with
whom the senorita is more than three
fourths in love. and the added handicap
OF lOvesicS don from Monterey. furnish
a somewhat slender plot. upon which is
hung a story more sentimental. than trag-
ic. more melodramat;c than forcefui-yet
pleasing withal 10 those who require no
deep psychological problems TO stimulate
their enjoyment, but seek rather a pure
love tale with an obvious denOuement al
ways in plain sight
