Edwin Booth Cigarette Cards

I'm pretty sure the house belongs to Junius, Jr. who had his own theater company in San Francisco. Edwin accompanied his father to California in July 1852, where they acted in San Francisco and Sacramento under the Management of Junius Brutus Booth Jr. The elder J.B. Booth started to return to Maryland, but died on the way. Edwin Booth stayed in the west and toured the mining towns and acted in his brother's company in San Francisco. He left CA in 1856.

This is from PRINCE OF PLAYERS by Eleanor Bogles

"At first, after his father left, he lingered on with Junius and Har-
riet in their house on Telegraph Hill, an exasperating guest.
Having no work, he spent his time drinking in saloons where
the bars were still warm from his father's instep. His nineteenth
birthday came and went. Junius was mightily relieved when
Willmarth Waller, an actor-manager organizing a company to
play the mining towns, engaged Ted for the tour. "The name
will help me anyway," said Waller. "

Junius, Jr. was an actor but he was overshadowed by his father and brothers. He did play King John and Cassius in Julius Caesar, with Edwin as Brutus and John Wilkes as Mark Antony in 1864.
