Mr. Cody and his company appeared to a fine house last night. The play presented is a decided improvement on the pieces in which the same troupe has usually appeared. There is no shooting, scalping or stabbing, yet the interest of the gallery was not lost on that account. Mr. Cody is a great favorite in this city, which he at one time made his home. He makes a fine figure either off or on the stage, and is gradually showing that he has no ordinary dramatic talent as well as great skill with the rifle. There is no better or quieter way of getting an idea of life on the border than to attend the "Buffalo Bill" performances. No doubt the company will draw a still larger house to-night.
Buffalo Bill had the largest house of the season last evening and his new play of the "Praire Waif," written for him by John A. Stevens, was quite an improvement over his former plays, being less rough and "sketchy." Buffalo Bill was very fairly supported by Lizzie Fletcher as "Onira' and R. C. White as "Mark Stanley," the drunken tool of the Danites, Miss Connie Thompson as "Sadie," the scold also pleased the audience highly. The second low comedy characters of Capt Russel, the Irishman, and Hans. the Dutchman, were very good and both paid particular attention to their dialect. the rifle shooting by Buffalo Bill was also good, but it would have been a better test of his abilities if he had shot at longer range.
Buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill made his biennial visit to this city. Friday, and in the evening his enthusiastic admirers, and they are not by any means few here, packed the opera-house from pit to dome. After eight o'clock a seat could not be got for love nor money, and the late-comers were forced to content themselves with standing far back by the entrances and stretching their necks to catch even a glimpse of their frontier ideal in his soul-harrowing play of "The Prairie Waif." About this play not much can be said in the way of a plot. It seemed as if the drama was made up on the sput of the moment, and that the scenes, many of which were very interesting and exciting, were of the impromptu order. One salient feature of the play is the almost entire absence of shooting, which has heretofore been a chief characteristic of our blood-and-thunder drama, and in cutting this out, Mr Cody has shown his good sense. The piece was finely mounted, and Buffalo Bill was supported by a good company. Buffalo Bill seems to improve with each appearance. His fancy rifle-shooting, last night, was the best ever seen in the city, and was the chief attraction of the evening's entertainment. He may always be certain of drawing packed houses in Concord, whenever he comes.
"Buffalo Bill" is to perform in his new drama at Farwell Hall next Saturday evening, 20th. The following from a contemporary shows what is thought of [?] his company.
Buffalo Bill came again as usual to a packed overflowing house, hundreds turned away unable to get even standing room. Prairie Waif, his new drama, is the strongest border drama ever produced. Bill himself showed to splendid advantage. His rifle-shooting beats anything we ever saw. The company supporting is a strong one--all are good. The Indians are the pur genuine article. Bill always performs just what he adevertises and more too, hence the secret of his success. He always has big houses and justly deserves them. Come again, Bison williiam, you are always welcome."--Clinton Age.
