"BUFFALO BILL'S" ENGAGEMENT. - "Buffalo Bill can't act, but he's an immense card, I tell you," remarked a theatrical agent the other day. With the first portion of this assertion everyone will agree. The second was amply proved at the Metropolitan last night by the presence of a crowded gallery and a good dress circle, considering the numbers which attended the Howards' ball. We don't blame the management a bit. It gives the people what they desire and if they patronise "Buffalo Bill," a sensible manager will give them all of that gentleman that they will pay for. It is a matter of dollars and cents, a mere business proposition. There is really improvement, however, in the gentleman himself. He is learning elocation a little, but he has much yet to learn. He has toned down considerably, too. He is not so noisy, not so rapid in his utterance, and he has much less blood and thunder and gory scalps than he had in former plays. He is said to be ambitious in his new role. If so he may yet act fairly, but he will have to study from good models. The play was trashy in the extreme. The support was excellent, but its talents were not strained to any great extent. The rifle shooting of "Buffalo Bill" is well worth seeing. To-night the same play will be repeated. To-morrow afternoon there will be a grand matinee, with the same drama, "May Cody; or, Lost and Won." To-morrow night "The Knight of the Plains; or, Buffalo Bills' Best Trail."
