The Buffalo Daily Courier has this to say regarding the Buffalo Bill Combination which is advertised to appear in Bent's Opera House on the evening of Jan. 7th:

The largest house of the season greeted the "Buffalo Bill Combination" last evening. Long before the rise of the curtain every available seat was occupied and standing room was at a premium. The entree of "Buffalo Bill" (Hon. W. F. Cody) the renowned Scout and Guide, was the occasion of tremendous applause. The Drama, "Knight of the Plains, or Buffalo Bill's Best Trail," is a remarkably meritorious production, replete with startling effects, thrilling situations, and fine pictures. The appearance of the Pawnee and Nez Perces Indian Chiefs was a novel affair. On the whole the entertainment was meritorious, attractive and novel.
