I just read: “Mary stood in the doorway [of William Clark’s room in Petersen’s House] along with Laura Keene (female lead of Our American Cousin) and Clara Harris.” Was Laura Keene in Petersen’s House too? Did she follow (along with Mary, Clara and Maj. Rathbone) the men who carried the president across the street? I always thought Keene went to the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, one block to the north of the theatre, and after that to her room in the Metropolitan Hotel. I can’t exactly recall, but I thought her biographer Ben Graf Henneke reported that.
