1t is well to relate this much OF the
story of "Grngo" IL for no other rea-
son than TO suggest that it is more
than the mere kissing melodrama you
think you are in for when the curtain
rises on the sun baked garden out
side the Esperanza mine, when the
first swarthy bad man leaps omi-
nously into the scene and when. with
the sharpening of knives and the
cooking of guns, 1t becomes apparent
that the play is to turn on an effort
to run a haul Of gold through the
robber ridden trails to the border.
eyed Apache Of bandit, who had ap-
parently studied love making from
such reels of The Sheik" as had
strayed into the hills. you f1nd your.
self suspecting that "Gringo" was
written with a wistful eye cast on Mr..
Valentino as one who might consent
to do it later for the movies. The ac-
cent of melodrama is also preserved
in one small but exceptionally noisy
battle, which adds few moments of
acute discomfort to the play for those
of us who are gunshy.
But even as "Gringo" unfolds 1t
catches up threads for a pattern OF
another sort. 1t Is truly and humanity
written in all It's minor colloquies and
it reaches q final act that Is more than
merely theatricaly effective-that Is
authentic and interesting drama
Mr.. Ruben's achievement is some
thing to respect. A slim short, fastidi-
GUS actor with Il not too French French
bean and yet one who is always little
enameled and over artful in the French
manner, does manage in "Gringo," by
whatever synthetic processes he COM
mands, to suggest a huge. vital. free

world. AS for MISS Hibbard-she Is
enchanting. These two matter mos

many of the tales told by those WHIT
have really been to see, imparts
little of the native contempt and re-
sentiment which are in the overtone'

Daniel, Frohman. president of the
Actors F,md. said yesterday that per-
mission had been granted by the License
Bureau for Sunday shows by all the
legitimate theaters on New Years eve
In connection with the plan to have all
their profits turned over to the fund for
its charities among the profession. Mr..
Frohman said that a representative of
License Commissioner Gilchrist had told
him to proceed with his preparations
and to make applications for licenses for
ali the shows
The license, Mr. Frohman explained
woul,. be taken out for each theater and
would not be in the form of a BLANKET
license covering the playhouses collec-
lively. He said this permission would be
granted for only one night and would
not be intended for any later perform
ances. Mr.. Frohman was told that the
Commissioner granted his permission in
view of the fact that the crowds would
be on the sidewalks OF Broadway on that
night in any event, and that the per-
formances were FOR charity. WIN the
managers deducting only expenses from
the receipts.
At the License Bureau Commissioner
Gilchrist could not be reached. A rep
resentative said that the rule of the bu-
shows only where these were concerts.
When Mr.. Frohman was asked II the
performances would be In the nature of
concerts he answered:
mo, they will be in essence musical
comedy and dramatic performances the
same as those regularly given. We Lre
arranging now TO meet with certain con-
ditons required of us"
He sai$ that these benefit perform
ances would not affect the regular Sun
day evening performances of vaudeville
and motion pictures. The Sunday vaude-
Vile shows are always known as con-
certs. Mr. Frohman did not know how
many theaters would join In the philan-

waiting for q report In that regard from
Brock Pemberton. He said the profits
turned over to the fund were expected
to reach about 25 per cent. OF the total
receipts.

Ziegfeld Denounces
Central Ticket Plan
as 'Impracticable'

The plan for a central ticket agency.
adopted almost unanimously on Wednes-
day by the Producing Managers AS
sociation representing fifty-six theaters,
was denounced as thoroughly imprac-
ticab BILE" and "a positive menace to the
successful operation of high class New
York playhouses" by Florenz Ziegfeld.
Jr., in a statement given out last night.
II must confess the entire arrange
ment has astounded me-" said Mr.. Zieg-
field at has strongly impressed me
not only as being thoroughly imprac-
ticable, but a positive menace to the sue
cessful operation of high class New
York playhouses. unless there Is joker
in the scheme whereby some particular
parties may benefit at the expense OF
others.
IF this new arrangement now being
considered by the managers associa-
zion is carried into effect, I think 1t
will greatly augment the number of un-
scrupuous sidewalk ticket spectators
md probably transform some of the
regulars into their class. The whole
scheme looks to me impractical, and
cannot see any Improvement In the radi-
cal change suggested. There are repu-
table ticket dealers who are a great
convenience to theater patrons and who
live UP to the legal requirements. IL
they fail then by all means return ex-
clusively to the box Office"
Augustus Thomas of the Producing
Managers Association described Mr..
Ziegfelds attack upon the plan as an
opinion Mr.. Ziegfeld's
partner. a. l.. Erlanger, was on the
the committee witch recommended the
scheme" said Mr.. Thomas. II think
a conference between these two gentle
men Ia desirable"
John Golden of the Little Theater

COMEDY THEATER-"GRINGO a
play of Mexican life. by Sophie Tread
MISS .TREADwELL,s PLAY.

On the same stage where Holbrook
Blinn disported himself as the Bad
9fdn for all ofsa recent season, an
other play of somewhat similar con-
tent was presented last night-an-
other and somewhat richer blend OF
comedy and melodrama, wherein ma
rooned Americans cover in fear while
swarthy and slightly operate Mexi-
can bandits swagger picturesquely in
the offing. This is the piece called
"Gringo," a first play by Sophie Tread
well, an adventurous newspaper wom-
an whose work has taken her across
the Rio Grande. and who came back
the last time with the material of a
lively. colorful and continuously in
teresting play in her saddle bag.
Guthrie McClintic produced it last
evening at the Comedy-the same Mr..
McClintic who captured attention last
season by his first production, THE
Dover Road" and who, with "Gringo,"
clinches the fact that he Is a producer
to be reckoned with. He has cast Miss
Treadwell's play perfectly. and it Is
"a rare and genuine satisfaction to find
any piece so competently acted. even
to the smaller and less considerable
roles. Not only is Jose Ruben expert
and vivid and engaging as the bandit
That was to have been expected. But
also Edna Hibbard, Richard Barbee
and Edna Walton are capital-espe-
cially Miss Hibbard. who gives really
Extraordinary performance as quiv-
cring little half breed girl. who, a
the end, runs back through the years
and joins her mothers people.

something like the way that wounded

The device is almost automatic, IL

upon the galvanic principle. 1t needs
only one or two men to watch II, they
being guided by a chart, showing In
many colors the piece of metal to be

Unknowing
Christmas Cheer
By Mary Graham Bonner
5SS6SSSSS
20, 1922, Western Newspaper Union-)


Q HE was neither young nor old. But
~ life had been pretty rough with her,
taking many whom she so dearly loved,
leaving more and more gaps which
could not be filed.
Yet il was Christmas time and she
must think Of the Christmas presents
she should give and the Christmas let
tiers she must write. How could she
put cheer into her letters when she
did not feel 1t herself? Sternly she re-
proved herself for this. She must
feel Christmassy. She simply must.
So, quite by herself, she went to
big toy shop. There she mingled with
the crowds, heard the children's cries
and shrieks of delight and surprise,
saw their eager excitement. Her chill
dren were grown up, they had gone
away, some would never come back.
But 1t all brought the wonderful Christi
mas memories back to her. She felt
again the glow and warmth of Christ
mas cheer. Tears came to her eyes,
but there was happiness In their hot
blur. 1t wasn't the same as ones own,
to 60 and see happiness as though 1t
were a play, but Christmas happiness
was different. 1t touched those who
even stood on the outskirts. Yes, all
unknOwing these many stranger chill
dren had given her the echo Of their
laughter and Of their delight, and 1t
was SINGING a 1itflp Christmas melody
In her heart!
