The Theatre - Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack.

This evening the Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack combination open at our Theatre for three nights. We know nothing of the company other than that they are highly complimented by the press of other cities. They played in Charleston to good houses on Monday and Tuesday. The Express of that city says:

Mademoiselle Morlacchi, who accompanies this troupe, is the greatest danseuse who has ever visited the United States. In New York several years ago, during the run of the famous Black Crook, a rival spectacle was organized and a number of the best danseuses from Paris were brought out in the hope that they would rival the great Bonfanti. There were Diaui, Solhke, Blassina and Lupo, all first-class artistes, but none of them succeeded in equaling Bonfanti. Then it was that Morlacchi was sent for, and appearing soon after her arrival in the "Devil's Auction, or Golden Branch," fairly eclipsed the favorite.

In addition to her superb dancing, Morlacchi proves to be one of the most bewitching of protean actresses, and in "Thrice Married," a favorite play of the Florences, is really charming. The entire performance is a decided success.
