Ford's Theatre to Reopen

[J Hewitt]

I can not figure out how to start a new post, so I am replying to this message. As there is not much written about Taultavull's Star Saloon next to Ford's Theater, maybe you can help me with the following questions:

1. According to the floor plan of Ford’s Theater, there is a passage way from the stage to the Star Saloon. An actor could walk down this passage and go in the side door to the Saloon. My question is; being if that is the case, then what would prevent a saloon patron from going out this door, then getting up on the stage in the middle of act?

2. Do you think Booth went in to the saloon this way or did he go all the way down to the street then in the front door?

3. I have always been intrigued with the saloon. Have you ever been in there to look around and what do they use it for now?

Happy New Year!
