BostonNationality United States Occupation manager Charles W. Strine (1867 - April 7, 1907) was a theatrical and opera official who managed Sarah Bernhardt during her 1905 - 1906 tour of the United States. He was associated with the Tivoli Opera Company in San Francisco, California and earlier a co-manager of the Grand Opera House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was born. Strine had a second career in the newspaper industry, particularly with The Philadelphia Record.
He left Bernhardt in 1906 to undertake management of the tour of the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company. The tour ended after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake with Shrine losing all of his profits as well as a new San Francisco theatre for which he had just been made manager. He died in 1907 at Boothby Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, a week after unsuccessful surgery for an appendicitis[1]
