Thomas w. Keene Discusses His Art and
Fellow Artists.
Thomas w. Keene, better known under
the aliases Of Richard Ill, /" |" Richelieur
ard Louis XI.." arrived in the city last
night and went to the Rainier, where he
was found by . Posr-INrELLYoENcER re-
porter occupied in trying to read himself
to sleep. He Immediately laid down his
book. and engaged in that occupation more
pleasant to actors, Of talking about his pro-
fession.
Few actors look a. well Of the stage as
on it, but Mr.. Keene's face will bear : study.
Its strong lines and massive brow in
stantly attract attention. and his quiet
laughter brings . twinkle to his deep-set
eyes.-and burrows his cheeks with deep
wrinkles, stretching from the corners Of his
mouth. Said he:
II started on August II. and thus have
been on the road about ten weeks. went
through Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Ne
braska, and then out to the Coast, work
ing my way from San Francisco up here.
This is my first trip to this part of the
country"

rical taste of Seattle and the Sound towns,
and after being assured that he would be
well received, he was asked whether he
thought that Shakespeare was still holding

He replied:
Shakespeare has his ups and downs in
the public favor ike every other author,
but he will always draw good houses when
his plays are we'll acted. I played the other
evening ct Corvallis. Or. and was agree
