On Saturday night there is to be an entertainment
of a vastly different character, appealing
rather to the senses than to the intellect,
for "Buffalo Bill," Mr. Cody is nothing
if not sensational. The troupe that is now
starring it through the county under the
name of the "Cody Combination" is an unusually
strong one and the play, in which is
introduced startling scenes of Indian and
border life, is said to be the very best in its
line. Beyond this we have the grand temperance
demonstration at the Opera House
on the 16th, when a lecture will be delivered
by John B. Gough, the veteran lecturer of
the American rostrum; the fair and festival
of the Main street Methodist church at Washington
Hall on the 19th and 20th; the soiree
of Prof. F. Oborski's Boys' Musical Club on
the 23d; the great dramatic event, the production
of King Henry IV at the Opera
House, with Mr. Edmon S. Conner as "Falstaff,"
on the 25th; the first musical and dramatic
entertainment of the St. Aloysius Y.
M. L. & D. Association at the Opera House
on the 29th, and the grand entertainment of
the Athespian Dramatic club on the 30th,
thus bringing us right up to. May in the enjoyment
of a series of brilliant entertainments
such as it is not often the lot of citizens of
Paterson to enjoy.
