tragedian ON the American stage,
began weeks engagement at the
new California Theater q few nights
ago in San Francisco. We acknowl-
edge the receipt from MIR. Keene's
press agent Of number Of press
notices from the SAN Francisco
newspapers. The Evening Call
speaks Of Mr.. Keene's appearance
and presentation of Louis XI as fol.
lows:
Thomas Kenne was welcomed back
to San Francisco last night by a
large and appreciative audience,
which almost filled the California
Theater. Hearty applause was
given the actor on his first appear
ance and at the end of the third act
a determined effort was made TO in
duce him to break forth into a
speech, but Mr. Keene modesly re-
fused to comply.
The play was Louis XII.
There are few living actors who
can play the crafty, hypoeritical
French King as Keene can. Two of
the greatest are Irving and Novelli.
The former is only known slightly in
SanFraneisco, the latter not as all,
and were these actors interpreta-
tions familiar here the louis XII
