A. Booth (Joseph Adrian Booth) and the J. B. Booth (Junius Brutus Booth, Jr.). Junius the elder brother of a man called &quot;John Wilkes Booth&quot; and Joseph was his younger brother once thought to be a conspirator in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not look up the play nor did I look into the actor&#039;s but I did manage to that there was some kind of connection to a Joseph Haworth. I believe the connection is solely because the theatre that Haworth would perform at burnt down (Winter Garden Theatre) and that is wh Booth built this theater.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Booth Theatre according to this site had some of the finest performances of Shakespeare plays for its time.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.josephhaworth.com/booth%27s_threatre.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.josephhaworth.com/booth%27s_threatre.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.josephhaworth.com/booth&#039;s_threatre.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The third page of this program also mentions &quot;Edwin Booth&quot;. Edwin was also a famous actor and reportedly saved the son of Abraham Lincoln (Robert Lincoln) from serious injury or death in Jersey City, NJ on a train platform.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]334569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
