The next performance announced TO
take place at the Opera House will be
the appearance of the renowned scout
and Indian fighter Bybdo Bill. The
reputation of Buffalo BitI is known from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific ocean, and
also In Europe. Since his first appear
ance on the stage he has steadily worked
himself forward as first class character
actor.
In speaking Of his new play, Knight
ofthe Ptdtns.the Burlington (Iowa) Ca
zette says:
''Never was name more appropriate
than Is the above, given ~ Hon. W. +.
Cody, Buffalo Bill, who is indeed most
chIvalrous plainsmen, aud one who has
done the Government aud country good
services, IS vouched for by Gen. Sherl-
dan, Gen. e. A. Carr and others.
Drawn by accident, as IL were into the
dramatic arena, Buffalo Bill has steadi-
ly won reputation Is az actor, until
his ia ent Is recognized by the elite IN
the orchestra and dress circle as well as
the egosis" In the gallery, with the latter
he is being held especially the hero ol
heroes.
His new melo drama, "Knigbt of the
Plalns,' we are glad to see possesses
great merit, bling wholly free from the
red fire, terrific aud fash Of all other
border plays, and well worthy the
boards of fashionable metropoli' an
theatre, for his support is really par er-
cettence throughout, and the impersona
tions OF the jew money lender, Shyster
Judge. Marmaduke, the fop, Wild Nell,
the border heroine, and other character
parts undenably dramatic ''hits."
The play is the work OF the author and
'iramatist Col. Prentiss 1ngraham, of
Mississippi, aud he deserves great credit
for having produced q piece of great
merit, and wholly free from vulgariiy.-
