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
