“The Bowery Theatre keeps up its attractions by presenting some of the most popular sensation dramas of the day. Business was unusually great the past week, the theatre being crowded on several occasions. The spectacle of ‘Gio’ is announced for this evening… we expect to see it have a large attendance. Robert Butler appears in a pantomime every evening, and always sends his audience home in good humor, with their faces wreathed in smiles.”
