#<OITB AMERICAS C#C«S” IS CflCUr. Eanra Keene vs. Manager Stuart and John S. Clarke—A New Phase of an Old Quarrel. [From the N. Y. News.] . Some time ago there arose a legal dispute between Miss Laura KeeUe and Mr. win Stuart, manager of the Winter Garden Thea tre, and John S. Clarke,-the pccor, who was joined with Mr. Stuart, defending the action brought by Miss Keene. The same dispute is now again in litigation,a suit having oeen yesterday commenced before Justice Jones; in the Superior Court of this city. The fir mer history of this case and the object of the present Buit is fully told by Wm. D. Booth the plaintiffs counsel, in his opening ad- the Court please,Gentlemen of the Jury: It is with great gratification that I have to day the pleasure of submitting the case ,to you for your final, adjudication. The par ties in the suit are Miss Laura Keene, an ac tress of considerable celebrity, and aMr John S. Clarke, a comedian of some reputa tion, and the subject of controversy before you is the right to perform the very eile brated comedy entitled “Our American Cousin.” Before going into the matterindetailjitwili be necessary for me to make a few prelimi nary explanations, in order that some mat ters which have transpired heretofore shall not become confased on the present triaL . Shortly before the 30th of September of last year, the play of “Our American Cousin” was advertised for performance at the Winter Garden, which theatre Mr William StUart was the lessee, and Mr. John S. Clarke was then performing an en gagement as leading comedian. Mis Keene caused a notice to be served upon these gentlemen, informing them of her soie proprietorship of the comedy, and prohit ing its performance by them at that theatre without her previous consent and permis si6n. They disregarded that notice, and the play was producei on the night of the 30th September, 1865. On the Monday following Miss Kean had prepared and served papers to obtain an injunction to restrain the further performance of that play. That was a suit on the equity side of the jourt. It was an appeal to the court, sitting as a court of chancery for her relief, by a prohibitory act, to stop the further continu ance, of the performance, which was the wrong she was to be subjected to. That ap plication for an injunction, after various postponements, finally came up before one of the judges of this court, and upou that hearing the judge inttmated-that inasmuch as the case could be heardand tried udou its merits at a very early day, it was hardly ne cessary to go into an examination of the question of injunction, whioh would be quite lengthy, and whioh, probably, he could not decide as soon as the case could be heard upon its merits. That suggestion meeting thespprobation on both sides, the play hav ing, of course, ceased to run, the necessity fer an injunction having in reality ceased, it wss allowed to stand over in that was until the ci»e came up before the court sitting as a Court of Equity. It came up a few days there after, and was Heard before one of the judges, who was of the opinion that the papers of Miss Keene were not authenticated in pro per form, that the clerk had not complied with the absolute requirements of our sta tutes, and, without looking into the merits af the controversy, he ordered the complaint te be dismissed. From that technical deci sion of the court Miss Keene appealed to the General Term, which-appeal has been ar gued but not yet decided. I mention these tacts in order that your minds may be dis embarrassed, as allusion may possibly be made to. them intentionally or inadvert antly on this trial. It was decided by Judge Barbour Bolely upon the question Whether the papers produced were authenti cated in the manner. that the sta tutes of our State required. The defendant continued the representation of the play after the 30th of September, and this present action is brought to recover damages for the performance of the plav upon every weekday night in the month of October, commencing- 1 on the'"2d and continuing dotvn until the 28th of the month. It was also performed on two or three days— matinees, or day performances—of which I have not the dates fixed. This action is bronght to recover' damages for the per formance of “Our American Cousin” for twenty-four successive representations at Winter Garden by the defendant Clarke, in the month of October, 1865. 'Now, gentle men, you will observe that this.action is not brought against the proprietors of the Winter Gard“n, hut against Mr. Clarke, who was the principal comedian, perform ing a star engagement, by whose means the copy was procured for use at the Winter •Garden. Now, the facta in. this case, as we shall show them, are these: Some seven or eight years ago Miss Laura Keene purchased from the author of this play, the celebrated Tom Taylor, the original comedy, with the right to its exclusive representation through out the United States and the Canadas. She produced that play at her theatre, of which she was the proprietress, in the city of New York, in; October, 1858, and it was, .as you may remember, eminently success ful.. Soon after its production, in 1858, it •was announced for performance at a theatre in Philadelphia, called the “Arch Street ■-'Theatre,” of whioh Mr. George Clarke was one of the proprietors and managers, and - the principal performer. As soon as the an nouncement was made qf its intended rep resentation in Philadelphia, Miss Laura Keeneapplied through her counsel in that ■city to the United States Court for an injunction to restrain the ’ per formance of if there as being unlaw ful, arid setting up her exclusive right, as being the sole proprietor, to perform it in the United States. To that action a de fence was put in by the defendant, Clarke,, and his associate' Mr. Wheatley, in which they denied her ownership of the comedy, and denied her right to its sole representa tion, and set up m themselves a new and in dependent title,'which they claimed to have acquiied from some other person unknown to her. That raised the issue as to the ownership of the play, and as to the right of its sole representation in this country. The ■case was heard before the United States Court in Philadelphia upou, the allegations ■of the parties, and upon the proofs, deposi tions, and evidence given, and after linger ing along for some months—l do not know but for a year of more—resulted in a judg ment in favorof Miss Keene, which affirmed her right to its exclusive representation in the United States, and her right to recover damages against them for the performance of it.atthe Arch Street Theatre in Philadel phia. All the issues that were presented in that case were decided in favor of the com plainant. The decree which was rendered was in her favor, and the question of damages was disposed of by the order of the United States, Court,- as is the practice in that Court, by ‘ referring it to a mastery under the order of the court, to compute, the amount, which he did, and awarded the damages at §5OO for the un-' lawful- performance of that piece, which ■damages were/paid by Mr. Clarke, together with, the costs of the proceedings. From ffiat time the comedy has been kept by Miss lteefie in her exclusive possession as far as possible. She has never, with but one ex ception, transferred to any person the “ght to pa*form it. She has, for valuable consideration, authorized one man to perform it—licensed him, in fact. She in this oity, and the Olympic, I believe, also play under his license. But she never licensed the'defend ant Oiarke, nor any person at the Winter Garden Theatre, to produce it. The nro duction, therefore, on the 2d of October and every subsequent night, was a violation of {ter rights. Mr, Clarke, who performed it, and through whoss instrumentality a copy, was famished, was, of ail men, in. the United States, the last who should have attempted a wrong of this kind,becauseheis the identical gentleman who in 1858 undertook to set up is independent title, and he had that titie passed npon by a Court of competent j arls diction, and subjected to a very rigid exam ination/when it waß found to be defective, and so adjndicated upon by the court,. He, of all other men in the United States, I re peat, should have been careful how he again infringed upon the righto of authors. He had been nptified of our rights .by a letter written a few days before the'performance, insisting that the production oft he play was., in violatipn of rights stronger than-could have been made : by any other- managers or. establishment in the United States. Now,, ■gentlemen, the defence set up in. this action- \ is identical with that advanced in [Phila delphia. He goes on and denies here, as he denied there, her right: to. the exclusive re presentation of the play. He denies here, as there,-that Tom Taylor was its author, and setsup that it was the joint production of Mr, Taylor and Mr. Silsbee. He then -sets up his alleged.title asacquired from the widow of Mr. Silsbee.. He then alleges that -the play, as performed at the' Winter Gar den, is identical with that performed at .the Arch street Theatre in Philadelphia in 1858, which the court had.passed upon as being invalid and not : effectual as against the rights of the plaintiff. He then goes one step farther, namely, that in 1859, he paid Miss Laura Keene tne Bum of $5OO for permission to perform the play hereafter and wherever he might s&e fit. That is for him to prove, if he did so. He has doubtless some release, assignment, some evidence in writing that he paid her $5OO. And, finally, he sets up that for the last five or six years the play has been pro duced throughout the United States, so that it has become public property, and anybody might use it who saw fit. In answer to that, we state that he does not allege that these representations by various managers throughout the United States were ever made with her sanction, permission, con sent, knowledge or license in any way, or that she ever acquiesced in such free use of her property, and without that addition to his defence, I think you will he charged by the Court that it amounts to nothing. We therefore shall ask you in your examina tion of this case, which will not be very long, as the identity of the two pieces is hardly denied (and I have abundant proof here to show it), to impose upon the defend ant such damages as you'may see fit to award to the plaintiff for the twenty-four nights’ performances of the play under the circumstances I have detailed. He has not denied in his answer directly the identity of the two pieces;but inasmuch as it is a denial by implication we shall call three witnesses who nave performed in both plays and, they. I apprehend, wilF be able to show identity sufficient for onr purpose. . The first witness called was Mr. John Dyott, who testified as follows: Am an actor by profession; know the par ties to this suit; know the play of the “ A me rican Cousin;” acted in it in February,lB6s, in Washington, nnder the management of Miss Laura Keene; played the part of Abel Murcot; must have played that character about three dozen times; played it also at the Winter garden in this city about a year ago; it had a run of about three weeks; the character of “Asa Trencbard” was played by Mr. John S. Clarke; so far as my part was concerned it was substantially the same when played at the Winter Garden as when played at Washington under Miss Keene’s management; I may have received the manuscript of my part to study from Mr. Clarke; so far'as I can judge the dra matis persona: in botn versions are nearly alike; the part of “Lord Dundreary” was curtailed in the play at the Winter Garden; do not think this play was ever “done” without curtailments or additions. . Cross-examined—Never read the entire 'manuscripts of either of the versions; never saw the play acted at any theatre unless I acted in it. Charles Peters (comedian), sworn—l per formed the part of Biuney in the “Ameri' can Cousin” many times under the manage ment of -Miss Laura Keene; played the same part at the Winter Garden in October, 1865; the play was continuous there—it had what we call “a run;” the part I played at the Winter Garden was nearly the same ks that I played in Washington;" the number of scenes are the same. On being cross-examined the witness tes tified that he had never seen the manuscript of either version of the comedy, and that he had never seen the play acted anywhere unless he took part in it. Wm, Andrews sworn—ls a comedian; played the character of Lord Dundreary witeMiss ‘Keene and tinder her manage ment in “Our American Cousin,” in Wash ington; probably played the character three times a week during a period of three months; played it about one year ago at the Winter Garden, as I played it there it was nearly the same as that I acted in Washing ton, but the manuscript of the part as given to me is much shorter than that I had in Washington; the number of Beenes is the same; there are changes in the names of the characters. Cross-examined—Never read the manu script of either play; saw “Our American Cousin” performed at the Pine Street Thea tre in Providence, R. I.; sMiss Keene had nothing to do with that theatre: this reore sentation of the play took place biffore it was performed at the Winter Garden; saw the same play in Washington and in Hali fax, N, S., and saw the advertisement of its performance in Baltimore; tbepartfurnished me to study at the Winter Garden was dif ferent from that I had played in Washing ton. ■ ■ 'V f ,Re-direct: I feel' certain that Miss Keene gave no permission to have the play per formed in Providence; it iB customary for all, comedians to put in “gags,” or additions, in such a play as “Our American Cousin.” - Joseph Jefferson sworn: Am a comedian: know the character of Asa; Trenchard in ‘ Our American Cousin;” have played b often; am acquainted generally with the whole play: [Counsel for plaintiff here asked Mr. Edwin James, counsel for the de fendants, to produce the manuscript of the comedy as played at the Winter Garden Mr. James thereupon produced a copy of V play purchased from Mr. Silsbee, the actor, which, he said, was the only one the defen dants had produced at the Winter Garden This was handed to Mr. Jefferson, after having been put in evidence, to state where, if anywhere, it differed from the comedy o' “Our American Cqnsin,” claimed by Mls- Laura Keene as herliterary property. Mr Jefferson, after having given the manuscripi a slight examination, said that the title ot this play was the same as Miss Keene’s, bu that the copy he held contained only th<- skeleton, or the “cues” of the character of “Asa Trenchard.”] Witness testified tha’ hehad altered the character, COnsiderablj when he played it in other places than New York; the original “Asa” is supposed to coine from Pontiac, Michigan; but he (wit ness) represented him as a New Englander ' from Brattleboro’, Vermont. Cross-examined—The : first that witness saw of the manuscript of Miss Keene’s play was at her own home; the New England character above referred to, he (witness) had rewritten,introduced emendations or “gags” in the part, and when Mr.: Clark was about to play the same character, witness gave him such hints as he thought would benefit him, or, in other words, told him how he (witness) had rendered-it; did this as a mat ter of personal and professional friendship for Hfr.-Clarke; the alterations and emenda tions witness made in the character he never gave to Miss Keene as her property; never saw the manuscript now produced until to day; after Closing his engagement under Miss Keene in this city, witness took the. play to Buffalo, Boston,Halifax and to Cali loraia; played the character of Asa in eacho THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, WIDNESPAY,OCTOBEfI 10,1866. these places; paid Miss Keene, for the privi lege of representing the play as just stated. . Q. What amount did you pav her? (Ob jected to, excluded, and exception taken.] The hour of 4 o’clock having now arrived, the-court was adjourned till 11 o'clock this morning. uli'lCE OF THE BOHEMIAN MINING UvSf COMPANY, OF :MICHIGAN, 132 WALNUT BTBEET, PHILADELPHIA, JULY 23d, 186 a . 1 NOTICE.—The Assignees of this Company will offer at Public Sale, atthe PHILADELPHIA EXCHANGE, at 12 o’clock, Noon, oh MONDAY, October 22d. r ext. all the Beal Estate of the Company- conslstingiof 1,430 acres of land, with valuable improvements.
