RIO RITA GOOD
SHOW DESPITE
ITSUNREALITY
Border Citizens Fail
To Recognize Home
In Weird Costumes,
Strange Setting
By ]. L. JR.

HARLINGEN, Dec. 1s.-"Rio Rita"
Is good entertainment from start TO
finish; there's no denying that, but
il the program hadn't told that the
story was laid around the Rio Grande
near Brownsville, no one would ever
have been the wiser. II Is Broad
ways conception Of the Mexican Dor
der and about as unreal as most IF
Broadway's ideas.
The Texas rangers, portrayed In
the musical comedy, were the typi-
cal drug store conception held by a
New York City b~oulevardier. They
came as far from the type as could
have possibly been selected. There
was nothing in their costume or gen.
eral appearance to even suggest the
ranger of the old school. other char
acters and costumes were as far
from being a true portrayal.
But be that as it may, the play
was crammed to overlooking with
lovely girls, pretty music and catchy
lines. The scenery and costuming
was also beautiful.
Miss Nyra Brown as "Rio Rita"
CAV a we'll balanced performance.
She is both pretty and graceful and
she has a lifting voice of unusual
sweetness. Her portrayal of the
lead was without flaw.
In supporting Miss Brown, Arthur
Rogers as Captain Jim Shelton of
the Texas rangers held up his end
creditablv despite the fact that he
sas far from the type. His voice is
one Of his saving factors.
The comedy parts. carried by Ruth
Fullmer as Dolly" Charles Will
liams as "Chick Bean" and Jimmy
Lee and Ed Lovett, were the bright
est spots in the entire presentation
and kept the large audience in a
constant up-roar.
There were but two acts but the
first contained three scenes and the
second two.
Scene one Of the first act was laid
in the Mesa Francisco, the second
in "A Mexican rendezvous and the
third in Gen. Esteban's patio. The
second act, scene one, is laid on Gen.
E~steban's barge on the Rio Grande
river and the final scene in front Of
Capt. Jim's residence.
The whole story is wove naround
the love of Rio Rita for the captain
o fthe Texas rangers, who i search
ing in Mexico, just beyond the river,
for "Kinkajou," a tricky bandit. Al
though her brother Is implicated for
a while, he is finally cleared. the
real bandit. "Davalos.' is caught.
General Esteban arrested. Jim and
Rio Rita married-and they all lived
happily ever after.
