Knight of the Plains.

Another large house greeted the Forrester-
Buffalo Bill combination last night
in Recreation Hall. The play
presented was "The Knight of the
Plains; of Buffalo Bill's Best Trail,"
an entertainment fully up to the standard
of sensational productions. What
the play lacked in intricacy of plot and
genuine merit as a literary effort was
fully atoned for by the thrilling representations
of wild western scenes
and exciting camp life. The gambling
scene attracted particular attention on
account of its faithful representation
of events indissolubly connected
with games of chance. Buffalo Bill's
admirable rifle shooting was one of the
most distinctive features of the evening.
As an actor Mr. Cody, better
known as "Buffalo Bill" is rapidly improving.
He has much to learn yet in
order to render him a star of the sock
and buskin- and he knows it. Hence
his pains-taking, careful acting and heroic
efforts to render smooth the rough
edges in a business comparatively new
to him. Though not a polished actor
he is a success in his line, and deserves
crowded houses wherever he may go,
for his plays cannot fail to interest and
amuse the public. Buffalo Bill has
any friends in Cheyenne who hope
he will soon again revisit the Magic
City.
