 For this visit Mir Crane will be sesn asl Senator Christopher LarlSin. a member of the upper house of Con- gress in Martha Morton's comedy of tae present, The Senator Keeps HoGse. It is one of those charming and honey plays in which William II Crane is seen at his best and gives the distinct touch of Crane characterization to a role which is typical of American men of affairs.
 The audience fist gets in touch with the Senator when he is caught at the disadvantage of trying to run his own home after his servants have been induced to desert him. There Is land claim some some schemers are trying to work through Congress and thinking to further their cause they introduce into the Senator's household the lady who would sup- posedly benefit most if Senator Lar Kin were to recommend the payment of this claim through his select com mittee of the Senate. The lady straightens the Senator's domestic tangles so successfully that he comes to regard her highly. When almost persuaded that the land claim is worthy of consideration Gle discovers that his erstwhile housekeeper would be the chief beneficiary of the claim. Disappointed but not convinced the senator proves his worth in the grasp ot affairs where a man has chance and he also learns the truth regard ing the claimant The establishment Of her innocence of personal wrong doing gives the story the needed dra- matic go with it's appealing undercur- rent of heart interest. The Senator having proven his inability as do- nestle genius does his mans work in that rugged straightforward art which has endeared Billy Crane to America and there you have the sub stance and charm of a play with him n the stellar role
