Where Vivian Sang

Butler's American Theater, 472 Broadway Formerly & Better Known as Mechanic's Hall

"He [Vivian] made such an impression on John Ireland [proprietor of the Star Hotel] that the latter sent for his friend, Robert Butler, manager of the American Theater on Broadway. Vivian sang for Butler, making such a hit that he was engaged for a three weeks' run at the American."
(William Phillips, as recounted in Nicholson 12).
