Edwin Booth: A Biography and Performance History

[Dave Taylor]

Carolyn, Dave, everyone...what is the general feeling regarding the reliability of Eleanor Ruggles' Prince of Players: Edwin Booth as a source? She does not use footnotes so I have wondered about it.

When I emailed the Booth library at The Players using Kimmel's and Ruggles' books as sources for my inquiry, the director replied back with, "Kimmel is notoriously inaccurate, Ruggles better but still with problems." So at least there's one opinion from an Edwin Booth person.
