At FORD'S GRAND OPERA-HOUSE, Baltimore,
Md., the attraction the past week was Buffalo
Bill, who, with his two Sioux chiefs, Indian horses
and the Mexican Buro Jack Cass, attracted and excellent
attendance, appearing in his new drama
entitled "May Cody." Virginia Bray was captivating
as May Cody. The comical element was
thrown upon the shoulders of Thomas Grahame,
who was funny as Darby McCue. Chas. Waverly
as John D. Lee and R. L. Downing as George
Stoughton were excellent. Too much praise
cannot be given to Charles Herbert for his
life-like make-up and quiet acting of the
part of Brigham Young. The rest of the
east was fair. The drama was preceded each
evening by "The Loan of a Lover," in which
Laura Joyce made her first appearance, and met
with a pleasant reception, Virginia Bray and
Julian Mitchell assisting her materially as Ernestine
and Peter Spyke, respectively.
