The Prairie Waif.

Buffalo Bill and his excellent troupe entertained
a large audience in Liberty Hall
last evening. We have been to every show
that has been given in Liberty Hall in the
last five years, and we have never seen an
audience that seemed mored pleased nor
more thoroughly satisfied than was that
last night. And it is not to be wondered at
for the Prairie Waif as played by Mr. Cody
and his company, is a play that would
please anybody and everybody. It is one
of those peculiar pieces that always makes
a success.

The whole play is refined in every particular,
and has none of the blood and thunder and
gun powder business about it
that makes a play of that character tiresome.
Its whole tone was elevating and
pleasing, and it was rendred in the best
possible style. The fact that the principal
character was taken by Buffalo Bill himself
and that he was reviewing scenes
which he often met with in actual experience,
excited an unusual interest on the
part of the audience The Prairie Waif,
as a play, is a perfect little gem, and the
Buffalo Bill company, including as it does,
that famous character himself, the real Indian
chiefs and the well trained actors
who sustained the parts so well, rendered
the play in such a way that every one enjoyed
the evening's entertainment to the
utmost.
