Senator Keeps House." William III. Crane
will begin a weeks engagement at the
Columbia Theater a week from tomor-

Morton, one of the most successful of
woman dramatists, and deals with the
experiences of a United States senator
who strives to battle with the contending
and discordant influences supposed TO be
found at the seat of government.
While Miss Morton has not hesitated
to resort to sarcasm at times, the liberal
flow of wit and humor with which the
play abounds is freed from anything
which might tend to offend the most
sensitive, and the result is an evenings
entertainment that New York has en-
joyed for months past. The engagement
at the Garrck Theater was brought to
close to permit the annual visit of Mr..
Crane to the principal cities east of Chi
