"BUFFALO BILL" AT THE OPERA HOUSE
"Last evening Hon. W.F. Cody, known everywhere as "Buffalo Bill," the hunter, actor and ligislator, with a full company, opened at the Opera House, for two nights, in the drama, "Scouts of the Plains." Of his own acting it is almost useless to speak, as his perfect ease on the stage and proficiency in the part he plays speak for themselves to all who see him act. He was well supported by E.L. Mortimer (who, we are told, was a former Wilmingtonian), as Antelope Ned, by T. Graham, as Mickey Blunder, Kit Carson, Jr., as Ebenezer, the missionary, and by the whole company, the ladies of the troupe deserving especial praise for the natural grace of their acting. A large audience withnessed the play, and to-night, when they give their last performance here, its numbers should be greatly swelled. The play, with the exception of a few scenes that are not in accordance with the natural order of things, is a good one of its class, the sensational, and though somewhat overdrawn for the sake of dramatic effect, gives some idea of frontier life; at any rate it is well played, exciting, and worth seeing."
