A Life of tho Elder Booth.

To the Editor:
I have what I think must be quite . rare book.
II Ia a life Of the elder Booth written by his
daughter and published In 1855. The title is
Passages. Incidents and Anecdotes Of the Life
Of JuniuS Brutus Booth" In this book there Is a
very beautiful portrait OF him as Richard ILL.,,
taken In London in 1890. when he was twenty
four years old. Some time ago there was an
article printed In one Of the New York papers
about noble people and their photographs. The
person who wrote 1t thought there was very
little chance OF there being q likeness OF the
elder Booth In existence. 80 l think the picture
must be quite valuable. 1t Is really a very fne
portrait. Appended to the book are copies Of all
the old play bills from Booths nrst engagement,
In 1913, to his last In 1864. with. of course, the
names Of all the actors and actresses that took
part with him both In Europe and America.
