179Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill was greeted at Music Hall last Tuesday evening, with a good house and well merited, enthusiastic applause. Those, if any, who looked to see in Mr. Cody's personation of this character, anything rough, boisterous or ungentle, met, instead, the prince of Nature's gentlemen, delineating the friend to the helpless, the foe to wrong -- a stranger to fear, yet too tender of heart to harm, even in the chase, the deer with appealing eye raised to his face. Personally Mr. Cody presents a type of perfect manly beauty and grace. The fancy shooting scene in which he holds his rifle in twenty different ways, hitting his mark at every shot, was a fascinating feature of the evening, and was followed by hearty plaudits. Although Buffalo Bill was the chief attraction of the entertainment, the fine acting of the charming Miss Lydie Denier as "Onita," and the cornet solo by Mr. Frank Thompson, deserve very high commendation. Mr. Jule Keen as "Hans," and Miss Nellie Lingard as "Sadie," interspersed the play with plenty of food for laughter. The company numbers twenty players, all of whom filled their parts acceptably, and is accompanied by very fine scenery and an excellent orchestra: | 179Buffalo Bill.
