Buffalo Bill comes to-morrow night in his new play of "Twenty Days." There isn't a small boy in the city, no matter whether he hoes to Sunday school or not, who is not crazy to set in the gallery and "hi-hi" their demigod; the Hon. W. F. Cody. We presume the capacity of the house will be tested.

"Buffalo Bill" at the Walnut.
The Hon. William F. Cody, otherwise known as "Buffalo Bill," with his painted warriors and decorated white men, appeared at the Walnut Street Theatre last evening in a new play, entitled Twenty Days; or, Buffalo Bill's Pledge. The piece, which was written by Charles Foster, is of the dime novel order. "Buffalo Bill," a scout, obtains twenty days' leave of absence, and in that time traces out a deal of villainy, encounters a number of startling adventures, kills two or three men and rescues two or three more and brings about the triumph of right and vindication of injured innocence within the stipulated time. Necessarily, the piece is full of action, and a band of "genuine Indians," in the third act, contribute greatly to its activity. It brings Mr. Cody, who has a striking figure for the stage, prominently forward, and shows him off to the best advantage. His acting is improving, having lost much of the amateurishness it used to have. Miss Loie Fuller, as "Pepper," the soubrette of the piece, acts with dash and animation, but the rest of the company, the Indians excepted, is very tame.
