The Drama of “Buffalo Bill” at
Colerike's Opera House - John
Dillon Coming.
The thrilling drama of "Buffalo Bill "
was presented at Colerick's Opera-house
last evening to a immenee audience,
standing room being decidedly in demand.
The play was so exciting as to literally
throw the gallery gods (of whom there
were a great many out) into ecstacies
of delight, while the lovers
of dime novel literature were in the
seventh heaven of happiness. Twenty or
thirty scalp were taken, several war
dances executed and thirty or forty pistols
shot off, together with a number of minor
incidents, such as kidnapping, etc., etc.
The audience had the pleasure of seeing
the celebrated scouts, “Wild Bill,” “Buffalo
Bill” and “Texas Jack” in propria
personas. They are fine specimens of muscular
manhood, and after seeing them, one
can readily believe all of the tales which
are told of them. There were also half a
dozen thoroughbred Indians, who acted the
cowardly, skulking savages that they are
to perfection.
Tonight will be the last appearance of
this troope in Fort Wayne when, in addition
to the attractions presented last
evening, Morlacchi, the powerless danseuse,
will speak, dance and sing in the popular
farce of “Thrice Married."
