Did John Wilkes Booth ever perform in Detroit?

[LincolnMan]

Laurie: thank you so much-and Mr. Loux too. Fascinating account. Booth was a hit in Detroit! Interesting that, at the time, the Civil War was in progress. Nice little ditty about Booth's acrostic for FANNY. He was ever the charmer, wasn't he! Whatever the Metropolitan Theater was- it is long gone. As far as the Russell House Hotel it is gone as well. Russell Street in Detroit is well known to me. My second-great maternal grandfather was a streetcar conductor on what was the "Russell Street Line" in the early 1900's. Russell Street is part of one of the oldest sections of Detroit now. I'm going to look into this further and see what else I might find about Mr. Booth's visit to Detroit. Good stuff!
