“American Theatre, 444 Broadway, is an American institution with an American Butler in its lead. . . . It gives you a little of all sorts, the gems of minstrelsy, of dancing, of pantomime, etc., all performed in good style, and void of vulgarity, as Mrs. Bloomer would say; you get the worth of your money there if you comes away before the show is half over.”
