There is no lack of either a mind or a theater mind in The Victors-it is as charged with ideas as with harsh melodrama. The fault, in fact, lies just that way-in a too-muchness of everything that becomes a form of melodrama in itself. In piling up too many motives, in piling on too much horror, the play loses its impact.

...disaster. She hired detectives to guard her first child, Vinson; she provided a scrubbed, perfumed Negro boy to "keep him from getting spoiled by wealth." But he was killed by an automobile when he was nine. Her marriage ended tragically.

...reporters at Valbuena Field, Mexico City, knew that a colossal story was coming their way-in fact, well nigh into their laps. They could see it clearly in the air, for there was the Travel-Air cabin monoplane City of Wichita, in which could only be Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh and his fiancee, Anne Spencer Morrow. It was apparent, from the gestures of the figure at the cabin window and from the naked axle on the right-hand side of the landing gear, that the Colonel had lost a wheel. It was a story with a hundred possible endings...
