RIO GRANDE, the River,
separates Mexico from the U.S.A.: it is the dividing line between To-day and the Day before Yesterday..
RIO GRANDE, the Play,
deals with the elemental passions aroused wherever there is contact between the two warring civilisations. "Mountains divide," said Napoleon, "rivers
unite."
But he did not know the RIO GRANDE, whose mission it is to hold apart
the two-fisted men of Texas and the passionate sons of mediaeval Mexico.
