Buffalo Bill--The boys will have their
old time frontier favorite at Comstock's
to-morrow night. The nature of this
original performance is well known. Of
the company and the piece for the present
season the Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
"Prairie Waif, the new play written for
Mr. Cody by John L. Stevens, is the best
drama of its kind the noted scout ever appeared
in. He has better opportunities
and grasps them so readily that the performance
is made attractive from the
very beginning. Undoubtedly it is the
best play of its kind in existence. Aside
from Mr. Cody, who is successful in his
own character of Buffalo Bill, may be mentioned
Mr. R. C. White as Mark Stanley,
Mr. Harry Clifton and Mr. George T.
James as the Danites, Mr. Jule Keene as
Hans, Mr. Charles as Captain Russell, Mr.
Wright as Lone Deer and Mr. Melmer as
Yellow Hand, all of whom played very acceptably.
Miss Lizzie Fletcher, a pretty
and talented young lady, appeared as
Onita, with excellent results. Miss Connie
Thompson in soubrette role of Sadie
was also pleasing in her work."
