Frank Keenan and company

Location:
Date:
25 min. full stage – Presenting for the first time here a new sketch entitled “The Actor and the Count”, which is one of the best things in that line we have had for some time. Comment upon Mr. Keenan’s acting unnecessary, beyond the fact that he plays two roles, each of which is capitally done. Mr. Keenan received competent support from Misses Georgia Welles and Kate Long, the latter his wife. The sketch is dramatic, farcical, burlesque, pantomimic, musical and pathetic, by turns. They were quite nervous at the first performance, which somewhat marred it. We gave them a splendid stage setting only excelled by that of Hillard.
