...Many Irigoyenistas refuse to admit that their elderly President is a dictator, point out that he not only allows political opposition in the country, but, unheard of in most Dictatorships, allows himself to be criticised in the public press and refuses to accept any salary. Actually. Hippolito Irigoyen not only dictates the policies of Argentina, but, distrusting most of his ministers, attempts to perform most of the routine work of the country himself...

...fable about gunmen in silk hats is good entertainment, although the characters, including Edmund Lowe as the gunmau chief, are stencils. The story is the one about the society Robin Hood who falls in love with a nice girl and keeps appointments with her between bank robberies. Few will accept as verity the huge town mansion of the young and naif hoodlum, or his devoted butler, or the robbery of the bank whose president is kidnaped at church by gunmen dressed like ushers, or Lowe's stubborn march upstairs to death in a dark room. But none of its unlikelihoods...
