A Kentucky Romance" by Joseph LIE
Brant, seen at the Academy last night,
gave Miss Beulah POINTER an excellent
opportunity to display her talents to a
full house in the leading role as Cynthia
Hargrave The story of the play is laid
in the hills of Kentucky and the charac-
ters or that country are finely portrayed
Inc theme revOlves around Cynthia Har-
grave, whose misfortunes and love affairs
form the basis OF an interesting little
meiodrama. James Hargrave is foreman
on the estate of John Hannibal, whose
Hargrave's sympathy for her and in a
mt OF emotion he kills Hannibal.
To shield Hargrave Mrs. Hannibal fees
the country and dies Harsravc takes
Cynthia. the child. and rears her with an
iron hand. While living with Hargrave
on the Jameson estate Cynthia meets Lee
Jameson and after a short courtship they
marry, much against the wishes of Mrs.
Jameson. who in her Scheming mind had
planned for her son to marry Marcia
Talbot, an heiress.
After family squabble the couple sep
arate and Cynthia goes to New York to
go upon the stage, where she is SUE
cess. Lee follows, is forgiven by Cynthia.
Hannibal and Cynthia proves the missing
heir to the Jameson estate
Ted V. Almond, as Josrla Tubbs, with
his laughing song added much merri-
ment to the play and received several
encores. Edwin Dale, playing the part
of James Hargrave, did fine work in the
confession of the Hannibal murder, while
Sam j. Burton made a typical old negro
of by-sone days.

Expects to Maintain Lead.

SO far as 1.-The goods go President Taft
has the lead, and his friends say he will
keep it from now on. With the excep-
ton of the two District delegates, who
ran on a Taft platform, all the other del
egates SO far elected are instructed for
Taft. instruction is to be the rule IN
most of the states, and districts where
the Taft people control and the leaders
predict that President Taft will have
more than half of the convention in
structed for him and voting for him on
the first ballot not counting several hun
dred uninstructed men who will be for
him.
Former President Roosevelt's numerous
remarks about the Florida convention
have been construed by Taft people to
mean encouragement to his supporters TO
tie up as many southern delegates as
possible by contests, and this seems now
to be the program of the Roosevelt man
ayers. There are several southern states
where it will be possible to have two
conventions. owing to factional differ
ences. The prospect is bright that half
the southern votes in the national con-
vention will be contested and that the
national committee and the convention
will have their hands fuG settling these
fights.

Columbia.

In THE Senator Keeps House. pre-
scented at the Columbia Theater last
night William II. Crane really appears as
William H. Crane, although for purposes
of the story he is given the name of
Christopher Larkin, ~. S. Senator from
the Northwest He is nevertheless the
same William III. Crane known to the
American stage for great many years
to the entire satisfaction of the public in
general. THE Senator Keeps House is
not so swiftly moving vehicle as "Da-
vid Harum," or THE Senator" or Faith
err and the Boys" yet Mr.. Cranes old
friends were not disappointed last night,
and those who saw him for the first time
had the opportunity to frame a picture
in their memories of a clean-cut actor
who counts his admirers perhaps by the
be the same ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wide
American he has always been in the other
plays with which his name is linked.
THE Senator Keeps House" furnishes Mr..
kind in which he shines, and inasmuch
as In his hands opportunity generally
means success. the reception accorded him
last night was completely in his favor.
AS Senator Larkin Mr.. Crane can use
his well remembered tricks Of expression.
He can look down at the floor In the
same old way; he can rub his chin; he
can put his hands under his coat tails: he
can Them and haw" and make. himself
appear nonplussed. and. above all. he can
make his point and bring the laugh with
q delicacy that would put many more
strenuous stage senator to shame. His
senatorial role is embellished with plenti-
full drollery and dry wit, which fits well
with Mr.. Cranes personal appearance.
The lines rather gain by his handling In
deed he has the faculty Of putting touch
of art into the most commonplace re-
marks. which is responsible for many an
unexpected laugh.
AS for the play, 1t Is comedy. with four
indoor scenes laid In WASHINGTON. Other
than a vista of the Capitol. from the
senator's living room window. the local
color of Washington, as exemplif1ed by
the governments establishment, Is en-
tirely lacking. However, there is enough
talk OF appropriation bills. pensions,
congressional committees. etc, to warrant
giving the play home In the National
Capital. 1t has to do with widow,
