Killing Lincoln

[Loomings]

Did President Lincoln have his coat off at the theater as shown in the photo in the US News article mentioned above?

Coat, yes. Jacket, no. That is a production still, taken during a rehearsal; it is not from the actual scene itself.

I read a review by Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press. Regarding the Seward House, "Virtually every line of dialogue is accounted for historically...an example, as the camera pans over there's a bowl of fruit and a couple of books on the trunk at the end of the bed. .. those two books are the ones historically that Seward's daughter had been reading and the bowl of fruit was delivered by Secretary Stanton"
An insignificant point, but is anybody aware of what Seward was reading? Was Stanton that concerned that he brought fruit over? This is the first I have heard on this subject.

See Fanny Seward's diary for details!

Erik,

Will there be "deleted scenes" in the DVD version of Killing Lincoln ?

I believe so. Including more of Booth on stage and perhaps at the McHenry House in Penn. And perhaps a bit more with Asia.
