BUFFALO BILL'S

New and Best Drama at the Opera House Thursday Evening.

The opera house will no doubt be crowded to its utmost capacity on Thursday evening next, on the appearance of the noted scout and actor Mr. William F. Cody, better known perhaps, as Buffalo Bill," at which time he will produce an entire new drama, "The Prairie Waif," of which the Nebraska City Daily Press has the following to say:

The largest audience ever assembled in Nebraska City greeted Hon. William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," and troupe at the German opera house last night. Hundreds were turned away, and standing room was at a premium. Each and every actor and actress rendered their parts perfectly and satisfactorily to all parties. The play, "Prairie Waif," is a powerful American drama and abounds in historical and picturesque truth, illustrating and relating the struggles between the originals and the pioneers of the fronteir, The Press has not the space to particulate the strong cast which has been made with special regard to fitness, but the combination of twenty-four artists is the first-class in every particular.
