She is one of the five ladies that Booth had photographs of when he was shot and killed. In researching her life I've found that she had a long time connection with John T Ford with Ford hiring her as his leading stock actress over multiple seasons. In writing my piece about Gray it is necessary to get into some of Ford's history as well.

Dave,
If you haven't completed your piece on Alice Grey (note correct spelling) yet, I have a file on her I'd be happy to send you. I collected material on her but then couldn't use it b/c she was not performing at FT on the fatal night. I just PM'd you with my new email address. I can send it as an email attachment. Please also update my email for Boothie Barns. Thanks! (Also, as Roger noted w/ the page from my book on presidents and theatre, AL's appearance at Ford's for Kellogg was very brief, and thus likely escaped journalists' notice.)
