Review: New York Herald, 08 December 1867, 3.

“Butler’s American Theatre still deals out ballet, farce and pantomime with unsparing hand.  The programme of this establishment is something wonderful in length and variety, and Mr. Butler never neglects to introduce the most attractive novelties each week.”
