RE: Wonderful Newspaper Site
Quote:On Friday, Booth was about the National and strolled up and down the avenue several times. During one of these strolls he stopped at the Kirkwood and sent his card up to the Vice President . A gentleman of Booth's acquaintance was talking to him and asked why he was so gloomy--"lost another $1,000 in oil?" Booth said he had been hard at work that day and was about to leave Washington, never to return. Just then, a boy came out and said "Yes, he is in his room". Very interesting, John! I would love to see this as well....could it have been Herold? Or Powell? Or simply a Hotel clerk/errand boy? BTW - I remember JWB's verbiage that he would "never return"; but I assumed that he meant to the stage - "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
