brought the play into, popularity. car
ried out the title role with such genuine
merit that he won the plaudits Of the

Its senatorial atmosphere makes the
story distinctly appealing one to Wash

the play is wrapped around the ambi-
tions Of newly-elected senator from
Mississippi to have his home state made
the seat of an important naval base.
The ludicrous situations that arise out
of the gentlemans efforts keep the audi
