\ ‘THE NEW PLAYS “Gringo” Poor White Trash in Mexico By CHARLES DARNTON. T wasn't so much the expected bandit as that unexpected half-breed Mexican jumping bean, Bessie, the miner's daughter, who caught our straying fancy in “Gringo” at the Comedy Theatre last night as she bounced about in her persistent, childlike quest of a lover. For the rest, Sophie Treadwell's@- play didn't come up to ‘ Bad | «4; : * tn which Hotbrock sin had aie SHE SHRIEKS e time of his life at the same house IN COURT; FINED $20 few seasons ago.

The one we saw last night hiad the added charm of a single eye. Perhaps the playwright put the other on the blink, if not completely out of commission, just to emphasize Tito’s power over women. To aid her in this significant demonstration, Jose Ruben, as the hearty, thigh-slapping adventurer, did his best to keep one tye under cover, but it was only natural that it should pop out now and then as though to see what was « Who Com- hen directed that Mrs. Deutsch be charged with disorderly conduct be- use of her language, founa her guilty, and fined her $20. «$007 LOCKS CLOSE DEC. .s.

So far as character went. diaw- backs were especially notable in the gringoés, with the play showing PD white trash in Mexico. The na could take care of themselves, whether sstealing or working, but the Ameri- Sans were a worthless lot. The old miner couldn't get along without @rink and a Mexican woman, and so he bought and paid for the bandit's unlovely wife. For his partner he had a young draft-dodger who talked of civilization and freedom and all that sort of thing, and had a sneaking no- tion of starting a magazine when he got back to the States. The absence of cheap flag-waving was something to admire as daring or courageous. Nothing was allowed to interfere with the apparent purpose of contrasts, and what little respect was going went to the people who stood on their own fect and their own hills. They were at least true to themselves. But for melodrama, if we may take “Gringo'’ on that ground, the scenes didn't come off thrillingly. In fact, they had a way of letting down limply at every curtain. Although a rather lively shooting match promised a satisfying rald on the miner's treas- ure, the bandit chief was too easily convinced that the gold as in the bags instead of in the basket Ife seemef so trusting that we felt seri- ously concerned about his welfare.
