The poet and dramatist, Federico García Lorca, has had an extraordinary popularity since his death in 1936. His poems have been translated into numerous languages and his plays acted in many countries. In the United States his popularity has been much greater among amateur theatrical groups than on the professional stage, where, it must be admitted, his success has been very mediocre. But among the amateurs, and especially here in Minnesota, his works have been performed repeatedly. Every one of his principal plays has been acted in this state, and a number of them on more than one occasion.
