...great-great-grandson of Paul Revere should hold an art exhibition in Mexico it would be news. Last week Mexican Satirist Luis Hidalgo held an exhibition of his brilliantly colored little figures in Manhattan's Arden Gallery without a single critic recording the fact that that round-faced swart young man is a direct descendant of the patron saint of Mexico's independence, fiery Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, who captured the Spanish prison of Dolores in 1810, declared Mexican independence, prematurely, and got himself imprisoned and shot for his pains...
...still a secret last week, though a poorly kept one. Long before the official cablegram arrived from Pittsburgh, friends rushed into Madrid's swank new Café Fuentelarreyna to blurt the news to Hipólito Hidalgo de Caviedes: The picture he had finished so quickly that he had had no time to varnish it before shipping it to the U.

Tragic Maximilian chose Morelia as the site for a summer palace. The building still exists as a museum administered by the state university, San Nicolas de Hidalgo de Michoacan. Last week Maximilian's old palace provided Mexican schoolboys with one more reason for being conscious of Morelia. In that hot little place black-coated government employes and peasants in straw sombreros gazed in open-mouthed wonder at one of the biggest, most effective frescoes...
...approach to the problem was a play called Night Over Taos. In that piece an old Spanish hidalgo in New Mexico in 1847 detects in his son democratic tendencies. The conflict between the two kills the old man, but not before Playwright Anderson has put in his mouth this pragmatic doctrine: . . . The north will win. Taos is dead. It's right Because what wins is right. It won't win forever. The kings will come back, and they'll be right again When they win again...
