"The Ryan Girl" is an attempt at 6 rousing melodrama by Ed- nund Goulding, the same who has been an outstanding movie pro- ducer for many years. Occasion- ally 1t sparks, but there Is consid- erable talk Of Q repetitious nature scattered through the three acts and the cumulative effect Is slight.
 For me there is one major fault that ruins everything. That IS the heart of the plot, In which Q lanl- ster gangster returns to New York after seven years of Venezuelan exile with Q scheme to beat 6 Iaur- der rap by gaining public sympa- thy with the revelation that the big war hero of the hour, Q winner of the Congressional Medal of Hon. or, is his son, given in infancy to 0 couple to raise aS their own. TO make this sound plausible the au- thor has to emphasize that the gangster Is Q dumb, bullheaded cluck who never did anything right. He has to keep harping on this throughout the play because it's 6 scheme that no one in his right mind would even consider. It's my contention that when you have to spend the greater part of three acts justifying a scheme, you've not only missed the boat but fallen in- to the drink reaching for 1t.
 Edmund Lowe, who, like Gould ing, has been away from Broadway for almost 2S years, does Q good job playing the gangster, but it's @ role that you couldn't believe in no matter how well it's done. June Havoc, playing her first role in a musicleSs show, does well as the
