Mr.. II. Crane, during his residence on this

Thespian fayorltes. 1t is a long time since he
has been here and during his absence report
says be has developed from farceur and comic
opera buff0 into a legitimate comedian whose
latest work as q Senator hannibal Hannibal IN
" The Senator" Is fiji to be judged by comparison
with the BardweIl Slote of Billy Florence or the
Rip Van Wrinkle Of Joseph Jefferson. A year
ago he dissolved the partnership that existed
between himself and Stuart Robson and ne has
since become one Of the brightest stars in the
Thespian constellation. "The Senator" the
play in which be VIII make his California re-
entree at the Bush-Street Theater about the
middle OF next month. is the greatest dramatic
success OF The year, both arfistically aud pecu
naTily. Ii has basis OF fact, being founded on
incidents connected with the passage of the
celebrated brig General Armstrong" claim
through Congress. The brig was a prlvateer
which was attacked by British feet in the
harbor OF Fayal late 10 1914 She was destroyed,
but not until she had so crippled her antagonists
that they were compelled to spend weeks repair
ing and relttng. This delay was fatal to
General PakeunamS prospects OF taking New Or
leans, Tor the fleet had Oh board troops for his
reinforcement and did not arrive until al ter
jackson had repused the British. A claim for
damages for the loss OF the brig was made by her
crew, but II was seventy years before IL was

finished it, he fell i'll and Sydney Rosenfeld was
selected TO take his material aud complete the

which we are told is the best that ever came
from an American pen.

"The Senator" after being played In a num-
