Grand Opera House

PRAIRIE WAIF.

The Rochester Daily Union, of recent date, says of the above drama: "The Grand Opera House was crowded last evening by an audience that was deeply interested from first to last in following the plot of the 'Prairie Waif,' presented by the Buffalo Bill's Dutchman Combination. The incidents were sensational enough to please the most critical and the timely rescues that succeeded each other in rapid succesion were loudly applauded by the galleries. The Company is large and well balanced, and the piece is put on with all the accessories.

The Grand.

The present week at the Grand promises to be one of the crowded houses and vociferous applause. The popular prices prevailing will not be the one means of drawing great crowds, as the play is meritorious to be a high degree. Buffalo Bill's Dutchman, Jules Keen, has made a reputation secont to no German dialectcomedian in the country, and as the star character in the Prairie Waif, will give an entertainment that is sure to please. Buck Taylor, the king of the cowboys, and a genuine band of Pawnee Indians, are also with the combination and will give a parade. The company embraces thirty first class artists. The first performance will be given tonight, and every afternoon and night during the remainder of the week. The box sheet is open today at Freeman's.

The band of Pawnee Indians accompnaying Buffalo Bill's Dutchman and Prairie Waif combination are pronounced the finest specimens ever brought East, not one among them being less than six feet in height. They had never seen civilization until ten weeks ago, when Mr. Cody brought them East from their reservation, accompanied by Pawnee Bill, the interpreter. They give wonderful illustrations of their skill in their war dances in a realistic manner. The Prairie Waif is a very interesting and amusing entertainment.

The Grand.

This popular house was well filled last night on the occasion of the initial performace of the Buffalo Bill's Dutchman combination in the Prairie Waif. Judging from the applause it is safe to say that the audience was farily captivated. The funny sayings of Jule Keen and his inimtable songs fully sustained his reputation as on one of the leading dialect comedians on the stage. The play is strong throughout, the scenes all set in a realistic manner. In the third act the attack and defense is just such a display as is sure to bring down the house. The wind-up of the drama is admirable, and every one goes home please wit the entertainment and in a jovial spirit. The work of the Indians, genuine Pawnees, should not be overlooked, as they are one of the most attractive features.
