The New York Dramatic News of last week contains the following: "Buffalo Bill's new drama, "20 Days; or Buffalo Bill's Pledge," a new and romantic drama, written by Charles Foster, expressly for Buffalo Bill (Hon. W. F. Cody), who will be supported by a strong combination of dramatic artists, including a band of genuine Sioux Indians, who will be introduced in their war songs and dances; also a very handsome Indian maiden, who is acknowledged the queen of the Sioux tribe. New scenery has been gotten up by Prof. D. B. Hughes, of Henck's Opera House, Cincinnati, Ohio. A silver cornet band, and the unapproachable trick donkey, one of the finest donkey, one the stage. The Buffalo Bill Combination will leave New York Aug. 21st for Janesville, Wis., where first rehearsal will be on Aug. 25th."
