Ramon De LA CRUZ (1731-1794), Spanish dramatist, was born at Madrid on the 28th of March 1731. He was a clerk in the ministry of finance, and is the author of three hundred sainetes, little farcical sketches of city life, written to be played between the acts of a longer play. He published a selection in ten volumes (Madrid, 1786-1791), and died on the 5th of March 1794. The best of his pieces, such as Las Tertulias de Madrid, are delightful specimens of satiric observation.

See E. Cotardo y Mori, Don Ramon de la Cruz y sus obras (Madrid, 1899); C. Cambronero, Sainetes inedites existentes en la Biblioteca Municipal de Madrid (Madrid, 1900).
