RE: Something about John Wilkes Booth you may not know...
John Ford said had he lived, Booth would have been the greatest actor of his time. I've heard of his impromptu recitals. I think he usually did them between acting engagements - when he was broke. I think one of his favorite poems was "Beautiful Snow" (?). He said he could bring in several hundred dollars at one reading. Not bad.
