Buffalo Bill's Dutchman
Buffalo Courier.

Buffalo Bill's Dutchman gave the first
performance at the Academy of Music
last evening, to a large audience. The
parquette and orchestra circles were well
filled but the balcony circle and the gallery
were utterly inadequate to the accommodaition
of the crowd that sought admission
and many had to postpone their
evening with Mr. Matt Snyder in the role
of Buffalo Bill. In this he assumed three
disguises with good effect, and in each is
as bold and heroic as the boys could possibly
could require him to be, and brings
down the house at every turn. He is a
find looking fellow and is never wanting
in picturesqueness; he is always graceful
and pliant and some of his poses are
brilliantly statuesque and expressive.
When he handles the rifle or revolver he
does so with ease and abandon that are
unapproachable, and his rifle shooting is
perfection itself. He is heroic all through
the play and wins applause without stint.

Miss Lydia Denier is quite as effective
as Omta, is clever as Sadie; Mr. Jule Keen
is as humerous as ever as Hans, and the
other members of the east are unobjectionable.
The Indian maiden, He Nu-Kaw,
dresses prettily and almost proves that
the Indian dance admits of graceful
movement. The music and dance by the
Pawnee Indians are characteristic, and
that is about all that can be said about
them. They will be in Lock Haven on the
12th inst.
