Everett Butterfield was born in Portland, Maine in 1885. For about 15 years he was on the stage in Milwaukee, Denver, Kansas City, Pittsburgh and elsewhere. In 1911, a group of Washington, D.C. businessmen gave Butterfield a 15% ownership interest in the Franklin Square Theatre and its resident Olympic stock company, a project which was developed in 1912.
During his stage career he worked with Edward Morgan, Amelia Bingham, and Louis James among many other luminaries. His productions included Ready Money, The Man of the Hour, The Misleading Lady, and The Last Laugh. By autumn 1915 he had appeared in more than 700 different stage roles, according to an article in The Moving Picture World, October 30, 1915. Although he was primarily known as a stage actor, Butterfield appeared in several films made by different companies, including the October 1915 Edison release of The Magic Skin, and the Thanhouser production for Mutual of The Seventh Noon.
