Harry G. Keenan — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸
Harry G. Keenan [Harry Keenan], a recent addition to the forces of the New York Motion Picture corporation, comes as leading man with a fund of actual stage experience that should prove of value to him in his new environment.
He went into motion pictures at Niles, Cal., April 14, 1913 (western Essanay), directly from a thirty-eight weeks’ season as the priest in The Rosary, on the Stair and Havlin circuit.
After ten months at Niles he signed with Thomas H. Ince and started his first lead in “The Gringo” under Walter Edwards’ direction. He has, up to date, played leading roles in seven plays under the capable generalship of Mr. Ince.
He started as an usher in Hooley’s (now Powers) theater in Chicago, under the veteran, Richard M. Hooley, then became assistant treasurer there.
During his long and varied stage career he has served under the Frohmans and Florenz Ziegfield.
