Buffalo Bill's Combination.

Tuesday evening, Mr. Wm. F. Cody
will present his thrilling drama, "The
Right Red Hand." This wonderful man
and his blood-curdling play are thus
rereferred to by the St. Louis "Republican."

The Buffalo Bill Combination opened
an engagement of one week at Debar's
last evening and presented a new Indian
war border drama, entitled "The Red
Right Hand, or Buffalo Bill's First Scalp
for Custer." In this drama Buffalo Bill
presents himself as a scout for Custer and
his comrades in the disastrous campaign
of the Little Big Horn, and there is a
great deal of interest of its kind in the
working up of this thrilling situation. The
costumes are the real stuff, and the effects
are realistic, and the members of the combination
know their business in all the
range of border realism. The Hon.
W. F. Cody plays Buffalo Bill and has
greater ease on the stage than he
had formerly. Capt. Jack, by Capt.
Jack Crawford, is another feature; also
Pearl, an Indian princess, by Marie Wellesly.
The play is well put on, and it also
goes off well.
