GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Ingraham's realistic border drama, the
Knight of the Plains, is one of those wild, extravagant
productions that affords ample
scope for the display of physical courage and
daring, and Buffalo Bill and his savage coadjutors
possess the right metal to give it force
and effect. In such hands the play has become
quite popular, as the crowded and top heavy
audience attests. The piece is extremely
quick in movement, and abounds in thrilling
situations and blood-curdling effects. The
gambling scene is "immense." The characters
are all well sustained, and Cody is making
a good actor of himself. The Knight will be
given this evening.
