Joseph Booth (actor)
Joseph Booth (a stage name, real surname Martin) (died 1797) was an English tradesman, actor and inventor.
==Theatrical career==
Booth's life is not well documented. Initially a hosier at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, he went on the stage.
In 1774, when he recruited Thomas Holcroft to his company at Carlisle, Booth was a provincial theatrical manager in the north of England. The position was a temporary one, the company manager West Digges being absent. The company contained other well-known names: Elizabeth Inchbald, James Perry, William Shield. A business proposition concerned with making reproductions of paintings, by a process kept secret, was something Booth discussed with Holcroft around 1780; at this period he was an assistant prompter at Covent Garden Theatre. He also claimed an invention relating to textile manufacture.〔〔Hazlitt, p. 88.〕〔Hazlitt, p. 117.〕
