     “‘444,’ the temple of amusement favorably known to all New York, is in a flourishing state.  Manager Butler is happy, therefore all the attaches must be in the same glorious state.  In addition to the usual variety of performances by Charley White, Jas. Wambold, C. E. Collins, Lizzie Schultz, Jas. Maffitt [sic], W. Bartholomew, &c., a farce is given every night.  For a night of fun and enjoyment go to 444.”
