Mr. Butler as Caractacus, the British Chieftain

At time of website launch, no biographical information has been found on Mr. Butler. However, the play Caractacas (the title character of which Butler is portraying) is significant within the Robertson Davies collection. The first framed playbill in the Davies collection is from the 1837 production of James Planché's Caractacus in which both Mr. Butler and Mrs. Lovell were featured.
