As Abraham Lincoln
Although Henabery's impersonation of Lincoln was a masterpiece of facial makeup, Henabery was significantly shorter than Lincoln. Kevin Brownlow's book The Parade's Gone By (1968) contains a photo of Henabery in costume and makeup as Lincoln, seated in a chair with planks placed on the floor under Henabery's feet so that his knees are raised several inches; this effect (with the planks kept off-camera in the movie) made Henabery's legs appear several inches longer than they actually were.
