Laura Keene's Naturalization Papers

[Tom Bogar]

Very cool find. Never thought to look for them. I wonder if the papers from the several legal suits over the rights to Our American Cousin are available.

Dennis, they are. Some are in her papers at the Library of Congress and some in the Harvard Theatre Collection. Copies of them are also in the (late) Ben Graf Henneke (Keene's biographer) Papers at the University of Tulsa.
