In two instances they have mounted to

was educated in the public schools Of
San Francisco. 1t was during his early
gan. when he became interested in the
stage, later absorbed in 1t, and later an
actor. Mr.. Kahns ambitions lay in the
direction of heavy parts. such as are
best afforded i'm Shakespeare.
That he succeeded in his ambition can
be vouched for by the fact that he was
a member Of Edwin Booths company,
and also supported many other well
known Shakespearean actors of that day
The extent of his ultimate success. how
ever, is uncertain. for in 1892. when he
was but thirty-One years old. we find
him elected to the legislature of the state
