“BUTLER’S AMERICAN THEATRE.—‘The Bill Poster’s Dream’ would be a puzzling subject for Verdi, Meyerbeer or even Wagner to make an opera from, but Butler has achieved a triumph in it. The principal role is filled by J. C. Stewart. To enumerate the attractions on this week’s programme at this popular variety theatre would require a directory.”
