Ford Theatre
About Ford Theatre
Ford Theatre, spelled Ford Theater for the original radio version and known, in full, as The Ford Television Theatre for the TV version, is a radio and television anthology series broadcast in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. At various times the television series appeared on all three major television networks, while the radio version was broadcast on two separate networks and on two separate coasts. Ford Theatre was named for its sponsor, the Ford Motor Company, which had an earlier success with its concert music series, The Ford Sunday Evening Hour (1934–42).

That's where he did all of his pitching to be president. Abraham Lincoln was sitting in a rocking chair when he was assassinated. What, the theater? In Ford Theatre, he was sitting in a rocking chair. Three of the four presidents that have been assassinated have very close ties to rocking chairs.
