Announcement of Keene's Engagement.
Thomas W. Keene, the eminent tragedian, accompanied by Charles B. Hanford will no doubt be cordially welcomed at the Bowersock opera house, Tuesday, Jan'y 26.
The eminent actor plays such parts as Shylock, Hamlet, Louis (XI, Richard III and Richelieu and thus keeps alive in the memory of the younger generation of play-goers the noble ideals which charmed and elevated their fathers. Mr. Keene is not a blind follower of stage traditions. He has been a careful student of historical subjects and made such changes in all his plays, as seemed to him to bring the situations and the stage business nearto the historic truth. As the authorities have shown him his heroes, so has he depicted them.
He has mounted his plays with the same purpose and has had his costumes made according to the best authorities, so that his company shall wear only such dress a would have been worn by the persons they represent. The stage accessories are built with the same purpose. It has been decided that Mr. Keene shall play "Hamlet". Seats at Leis Drug Store, Saturday morning.
