Ford's Theatre - RJNorton - 01-31-2018 10:11 AM Thanks to Laurie for sending: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 50 years and one day ago (January 30, 1968), Ford’s Theatre celebrated opening to the public as a theatre for the first time since Lincoln’s assassination. Lady Bird Johnson hosted a program honoring Lincoln’s love of the performing arts. Here, beloved actor Helen Hayes recites a passage from “Our American Cousin” as part of the ceremony.
