“Robert Butler is now the sole lessee and manager of the Theatre Comique, having purchased Sandy Spencer’s interest in the same a short time since. Mr. Butler has been very successful ever since he opened this house, and is now giving one of the best variety shows ever presented in this city. Kate Pennoyer, danseuse, who has been off the boards for a long time, puts in an appearance this evening.”
