Playbill

[Dave Taylor]

I can verify that the playbill in question at the Smithsonian Museum of American History matches the original playbills used that night. As you know, there are many fake playbills out there that were produced in the years following the assassination as souvenirs. Ironically, one of the playbills with the best provenance (a note attesting to its authenticity from John T. Ford himself) is a later reproduction.



Now I'm wondering if the George Wright from this note is somehow related to John B. Wright, the stage manager at Ford's Theatre.
