THE REVIEWING STAND
BY Alexander Woollcott

them she is trotting humbly at her
Mexican's heels as the play draws to
it's close. carrying his saddle bag for
him and destined to follow him into
the hills. NJ
1t is well to relate this much of the
story of "Gringo" If for no other rea-
son than to suggest that 1t 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 tho
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.
Indeed, at the very sight of the one
eyed Apache of q bandit, who had ap-
parently studied love making from
such reels Of THE Sheik" as had
strayed into the hills. you find 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 a few moments Of
acute discomfort to the play for those
Of us who are gunshy.
But even as "Gringo'' unfolds 1,
catches UP threads for a pattern OF
another sort. 1t Is truly and humanity
written i'm all its minor colloquies and
it reaches a 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 a not too French French
bean and yet one who Is always a little
enameled and over artful in the French
manner. does manage in "Gringo," by
whatever synthetic processes he COM
mands. to suggest huge, vital. free
Mexican roaming loose in an alarmed
world. AS for Miss Hibbard--she Is
enchanting. These two matter most
in the acting of play which, like Sc
many Of the tales told by those who
have really been to see, impartS a
little of the native contempt and re-
sentiment which are in the overtones
of the word gringo.
