the latter is to star under the manage
ment OF William a. Brady. II win be

ment OF the play is that ''the man
higher up IS always the man in the
upper house-the United States Sen

Mr.. Brady says of the play: IF it be
true that playgoers are showing a live
interest in the direct treatment of vital
issues on the stage, then there is a
public for The Gentleman from Missis-
sippi inasmuch as II seeks 10 preach
the doctrine Of direct election Of United

ment that some Of the big figures in the
Senate today are men whose positions
