NED BUNTLINE’S “Scouts of the Prairie" was produced at the Arch-street Theatre, Philadelphia, for the first time in that city on the evening of the 21st of April, and proved successful in attracting during the past week the largest audiences of the season at that theatre. Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, Ned Buntline, Mlle. Morlacchi, Shirley H. France and George C. Davenport sustained the principal characters, and Miss Bessie Sudlow was a pleasing Jenny Lind in the farce of that name, which served as a prelude to the drama. The party closed April 26, but purpose returning in a few weeks, for another brief season.
