“OPPOSITION does not appear to affect business at Butler’s American Theatre in the least. It was thought that the opening of the Comique in the immediate neighborhood would operate seriously against the American, but it was not so, for Butler’s temple of the muses was crowded to overflowing on Monday evening, and throughout the entire week business was even better than it had been the previous week.”
