...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...

Explaining that most of his stories had been hastily dished up, warmed over from some previous mood, Author Lewis apologized for their optimism and superficiality, admitted that he thought two or three were "fairly good," declared himself a romantic whose talent had been diverted to the paths of social satire by "some mysterious trick of destiny."
