The hole In the door

Yeah, okay, so I see the arguments for the dry run. I see the possibility for most of what you're saying, whether or not I believe it actually happened. But the one hurdle that I struggle with the most is how Booth could have avoided being noticed by theater goers. I think it's common knowledge that there many people who went to the play specifically to see Lincoln. We've all read the accounts of people watching the box, trying to get a glimpse of him. And we've read the accounts some of those people gave of Booth making his way to and entering the box just before the assassination. I just have a hard time seeing how none of those people noticed Booth during a dry run. I have to believe that somebody would have said "The same guy was there an hour earlier too". With probably a fair number of people keeping a regular watch on the box, how could Booth have possibly entered unnoticed? Even if he was quick about it.
