"Buffalo Bill."
A large house and a most enthusiastic gallery assembled last evening at the Oakland Theater to witness Buffalo Bill's Company of Cowboys, Pawnee Indians and Border Ruffians render the thrilling frontier drama, The Prairie Waif. This is a play in which very little gore is spilled, but the lovers of the sensational appear to be satisfied with the liberal display of revolvers and Winchester rifles at dramatic intervals, and are prepared to pardon the lack of death agony and murder that is usually considered a necessary concomitant of the wild Western drama. The rifle shooting by W. F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill") and the scalp and war dances of the Pawnees are the features of the play. The plot of the drama is a fair one, and the manner in which the various characters assume their several roles is as acceptable as it could be considered the calibre of the play. Prairie Waif will be repeated tonight and tomorrow.

Buffalo Bill.
The Reading, Pa., Daily Eagle of November 27th, 1885, says: The "Prairie Waif," with Buffalo Bill, Miss Lydia Denier, Jule Keen, a band of Pawnee Indiana and a brass band and orchestra, brought two fine houses to Manager Miller yesterday as a Thanksgiving offering. Buffalo Bill's athletic figure was the admiration of the audience, and Jule Keen's "DutchMan" frequently convulsed the house with laughter. There was a street parade at noon, which attracted a considerable number of spectators.
To be presented at the Nevada Theater Saturday night, the 27th instant. Tickets and reserved seats at the post office.
