BUFFALO BILL.

This combination has been here and
we sincerely hope the small boy and
small man are both satisfied. For ourselves,
we think the drama of the
"Prairie Waif" is a rough, rude, and
vulgar play, only fit for a low variety
stage, where the scum and offscouring
of a large city congregate to pass their
evening. While the part of Hands was
well acted by Jule Keen, it would be to
the credit of himself if he would omit
some of his vulgarity. The same to
Miss Nellie Lingard. The marksmanship
of "Buffalo Bill," as he is commonly
called, is wonderful, and was
enjoyed by all who witnessed it. The
next time he appears in this city we
hope he will have pruned his drama to
such an extent, that the people will not
have a hesitancy in attending its representation.
