Thomas Keene

In the line of legitímate drama toay, Thomas W. Keene stands preminent and alone. After long years f patiënt toil and endeavor he has chieved the pinnacle of greatness, nd since the death of Barrett and f Booth, he is left 't o us as the only xponent of true dramatic art. Amidst the weary waste of mediocity in theatricals to-day, it is a jleasure to note his coming, and his eception will certainly be a glorius one, as the public have grown eartily tired of farcical comedy and lleged comedy farce, and long for ie presentation of plays that have ubstance and abound in beauties of thought and expression. Mr. Keene will appear at the Grand opera house April 17, in Richard III.
