Last Night's Alnusements.
COLUMBIA.
.sThe ssnater.'


The vide guik between the comedy of
q yesteryesr and that Of tsday was
demonstrated last evening at the Colum-
bia Theatsr. where the Columbia Players
gave An admirable performance In 4 re-
vfval Of The Senator" the four-act
drama written by David d. Lloyd and
sydney Rossnfeid. which served William
H. Crane a. starring vehicle for SO
many years.
Compared to the swift-moving action
OF the modern comedy, the circuitous
route which the love story Of The Sem
ator' takes to Its happy conclusion,
sometimes teeses with It's tedium, which
Is forgiven In the wholesomeness Of the
central character. in the portrayal OF
which Mr.. Van Buren, makes this week
a decided divergence from the usual role
title role which 20 endeared Mr., Crane
to the hearts Of the American public.
presenting a picture, with his goatee and
iron-gray wig, which Il II dincuit to
reconcile with the personality Of the
Columbia leading man. No higher COM
pliment could be paid him than to say
that he plays the role with consummate
ease and grace; for 1t II by no means
an easy task for an actor peculiarly
gifted In the line of romantic acting to
be able to 50 ably assume a character
part. The artistic success achieved last
night by Mr.. Van Buren, gives further
evidence OF his versatility. for the pic
ture which he drew Of the garrulous
senator was q finished piece of work
The scenes Of the piece are laid in this
city, and the play tells the story of the
fight Senator Hannibal Rivers makes to
put a claim through the Senate that will
mean wealth to the unsophisticated lit
tie girl he loves. believing as. he works
for her interests that she loves another
man and yet willing TO promote her
happiness at any cost TO his own heart
As will be recalled the other man turns
out q scoundrel and Senator Rivers is
finally rewarded by the love and hand
Of the girl.
Miss Jessie Glendening imbues her char
acterization Of Mabel Denman. the young
heroine OF the piece. with guilelessness
sufficient to elicit the championship Of
q less susceptible man than the Senator.
Miss Dorothy Bernard Is charming as
Mrs. Hillary, the dashing young widow
who plays havoc with masculine hearts.
and wears the most stunning gowns
imaginable.
Other members Of the Columbia COM
pany are happily cast in the Lloyd
Rosenfeld comedy which gave every evi-
dence OF pleasing a large audience last

POLPS.
"The Man from Mexico,

In his second week with the Poll Com
pany. Mr.. Carl Brickert, in the typical
Willie Collier part OF the man who wasn't
really from Mexico. gave a nrm push to
the favorable impression which he made
last week
BENJAMIN FitIhugh. whose Mexican
trip Is devised 10 cover q thirty-day Jail
sentence, is one Of those droIl wits and
cheerful liars who seem TO be the ideal
heroes for this particular type of farce.
Benjamin In the first act schemes and
worries to keep his wife from learning
that he IL going to Jail; in the second act
extracts the last drop of absurdity from
his adventures in prison. and in the third
and last act bluffs and stumbles through
series Of narrow escapes from dis
covery.
In the end he makes a noble confess
sion of the truth, followed at once by
the most glorious lie of the pack, SO that
all ends happily with his wife believing
he went to Jail to save her from a sim
liar fate.
To keep up this long chain of absurdi-
ties with satisfying effect demands q
high order of comic talent, and Mr..
Brickert showed that his personality in
cludes the requisite drollery-a trait that
no actor can assume IL he lacks 1t by
nature. The interest and amusement of
the audience did not flag at any point.
Mr.. Corbett as Col. Majors the friend
who has a futile plan for fixing every
predicament, gives unusual play TO the
farcicab side of his remarkable yersatil-
ity. Stanley James, as Cook, the deputy
sheriff. offers a well-studied and laugh
able type. Frank Shannon Is the warden
Of the prison. Robert Wayne q CRAZY
