I don't think Tad's presence would have stopped Booth's plans. What I'd like to know, as I've only seen one reference to it, was if Tad had met Booth. He supposedly presented Tad with a rose after a performance and Tad told his father- I love him so, Papa,. He makes me thrill!. Tad was supposedly a regular at Grover's- even being given bit parts in plays.
