To-night we are to have the first, last and
only appearance of "Ned Buntline's" great
sensational drama of the "Scouts of the
Prairie." The prominent characters, " Buffalo
Bill," "Texas Jack," and "Ned Buntline,"
are all familiar with the scenes they
depict, and the peerless MORLACCHI, is a
most attractive card, To quote what the St.
Louis Republican says of the performance:
"There is really a great deal of merit in it,
and its supreme merit as a show consists in
its realistic features. It requires no effort of
imagination to transport oneself to the scene
or reproduce the characters, for the real characters
are there. They don't really do any
killing and scalping, but they know how to
go through the motions better than any other
actors that ever lived. They have all done it
when there was no nonesense about the performance."
