Buffalo Bill in "The Prarie Waif."
It remained for Buffalo Bill to attract within the Opera House the largest audience ever gathered there. The house has been frequently tested with what appeared to be crowded audiences in the parquet and balcony, but previous to Saturday night's performance of "The Prairie Waif," there had been no occasion when every seat in all sections and part of the boxes were occupied, to say nothing of the hundred or more people standing. There were at least 1,700 people in the house, and the production of the thrilling border drama delighted nearly every one of them. There was less bloodletting, fewer scalps taken, and not so many Indian forays as occur in the other pieces of Mr. Cody's repertory, and there were a number of very neat scenes exhibited, besides some excellent acting that created high enthusiasm. Mr. Keene, especially, amused the audience mightily in the Dutch role, and the admirable rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill was up to its usual standard. Cody is the same cool, natural, handsome fellow that Manchester has become so well acquainted with, and his play is clean and pretty. His support, including the Indians, is also suitable for their parts. Josh Ogden, the agreeable and capable manager of the combination, maintains his position for the ninth consecutive season.
