Charles W. Strine (1867 – April 7, 1907) was an American theatrical and opera official who managed the Ellis Opera Company in its 1898 and 1899 cross-country tours and Sarah Bernhardt during her 1905 - 1906 tour of the United States. In 1904 he was engaged as associate manager of the Tivoli Opera House in San Francisco, California,[1][2] and the following year he assumed responsibility for the highly successful (and lucrative) San Francisco residency of Conreid's Metropolitan Opera Company.[3] Earlier Strine had been 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.
Strine left Bernhardt in 1906 to undertake management of the entire cross-county tour of the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company. The tour ended disastrously after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake with Shrine losing all of his profits. A few days before the quake, he had been named manager of a proposed new 2000-seat San Francisco theatre,[4] which never materialized due to the earthquake and subsequent fires. He died in 1907 at Boothby Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, a week after unsuccessful surgery for appendicitis[5]
