CERTAIN BUSINESSMEN wished to I
the White House of Lincoln because
profits they would lose in black marl
trade as a result of unification. Booth's n

Booth made several attempts, document
in police records, to carry out his plot pri
to the actual assassination, yet no attemj
were made to apprehend him.
Instead, Col. Lafayette Baker, Head of t
National Detective Police, with Swrotarv
War Stanton, used Booth's idea and decid
to execute the plan themselves. The ma
groups attempting to abduct the presid(
converged on Ford's Theatre April 12
carry out their plans.
The result was Booth became obsess
with his hatred of Lincoln and overcoi
with his desire to gain a small amount c
notoriety. He then shot Lincoln and fl<
successfully according to the new eviden<
to freedom in Canada.

As stated previously, seeing wor
Steve Martin live is the ultimate plur
comic experience. His humor is plur
highly visual; his facial ex- but
pressions are hysterical. To he j

Producer William McKuen has spri
done an excellent job selecting the , sev(
material that, without the listener just
ai-iuaiiy witnessing steve's ovei
routines, is in itself still very a F
funnv.
There are several highlights to Wei
"Let's Get Small." A traditional viso
Indian folk song, spiced up by ofth
Martin to "give it that pop feel," is to h
relentlessly funny. Another sevc
ingenious bit is reminiscent of the with
time Steve brought four dogs onto ther
the "Tonight Show" stage to tell ovei
some "dog jokes," encouraging us not
at home to "go get the dog, he'll if
love these jokes!" crea

fid The movie proposes that another man wa

ho government to carry out the kidnapping
to and he was shot accidentally by unio:
a soldiers, not Booth.

injured right ankle and a small bod

of opposite, was much younger, had blac
led hair, a broken left ankle and a much large
ny body build.
Jnt it is assumed that Booth was allowed t
to remain free and the supposition of his deat!
continued so the government officials woul

her CINEMATICALLY, the movie lacks in

uth documentary. It is almost void of the touch
of drama Hollywood usually provides. It
ted has some bloopers such as scenes including
