(01-31-2017 09:50 PM)Susan Higginbotham Wrote: In his book, Arthur Loux also mentions actress Rachel Noah as having talked to Booth in Boston backstage on April 5 at Edwin Booth's performance in Hamlet Mike Kauffman also mentions this in AB. He writes, "Booth was still in Boston. After dropping Lucy off with friends, he went to see Edwin, who had just begun an engagement in the Boston Theatre. Rehearsals were under way for Hamlet when Booth went backstage and crept up behind actress Rachel Noah. 'Hello, little girl!' he whispered. 'They tell me you've been getting married since I saw you.' He seemed in a playful mood, and Rachel chatted with him while she waited for her cue. She asked when he was going to act again, and he said that he had grown tired of all those months on the road. He might play again, but only in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia." There is no footnote for this. Thus, I do not know the source used for the reported conversation between Booth and Rachel Noah. |
