JWB: Called...

"The Handsomest Man in America" - Unsolved Mysteries - Strange Legends

"Major Star of the American Theatre"
"The Pride of the American People"
"The Youngest Tragedian in the World"
"A Star of First Magnitude"
"The Son of the Great Junius Brutus Booth" - The Curse of Cain

"He displayed a figure and an aire that glowed Stage Presence."
"Edwin, writing to older brother, Junius, who was a theater entrepreneur in the West, told him, "I don't think (our brother) will startle the world...but he is improving fast, and looks beautiful on the platform."
- The Story of Abraham Lincoln's Murderer by Joseph Geringer

Melodious voice
