Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Edwin Booth (1833-1893), Was an  American actor, was the second son of Junius Brutus Booth, and was born in Belair, Maryland, in 1833.

In 1868-1869 Edwin Booth built a theatre of his own--Booth's theatre in New York he organized an excellent stock company, which produced Romeo and Juliet, The Winter's Tale, Julius Caesar,Macbeth,Much Ado about nothing, The Merchant of Venice and other plays.

His personality of American actor Edwin Booth was greater than his achievement. By birth and heredity he possessed faculties and qualities that most actors pass laborious lives in the fruitless effort to emulate -- the faculties and qualities, namely, of genius and personal charm, that constitute distinction and lead directly to conquest.

Booth was twice married: in 1860 to Mary Devlin , and in 1869 to Mary F. McVicker.
