THE SCOUTS OF THE PLAINS- The second
appearance of Ned Buntline's troupe at the
Opera House last evening, was greeted with a
full house. Had it not been for the stormy
weather and the deep snow the house would
have been crowded to overflowing. The
entertainment was even better than it was the
first eyening. This is decidedly a sensational
drama, and will draw full houses wherever it
is put upon the stage.The effect of having
the two great scouts, "Buffalo Bill", and
"Texas Jack" along, will be to attract large
numbers to the performance, while everybody
is sure to go to get a glimpse of Ned Buntline,
who is so familiar to all readers of the wild
Indian tales which he has written for the New
York Weekly and other periodicals. Ned has
probably written more stories of this character
than any man living. The last scene, in
which a regular border Indian fight
is going on, while the, prairie is on fire, is
wild and weird in the extreme, and worth the
price of admission. Some parts of the drama
are exceedingly fine, especially the recitation
of "I was born in-March," by Miss Eloe Corfano,
who takes the part of "Hazel Eye."
"Dove Eye," (M'lle Morlacchi) performs her
part as an Indian girl very finely, and her
dancing is sure to meet with loud applause.
The scene where Carl Durg (Ned Buntline)
reforms the drunken Irishman and makes a
sober man of him, is most excellent. The
drama, if it is sensational in its character,
inculcates sound temperance principles. The
Irisk character, "Phelim O'Laugherty," taken
by Harry Gilbert, and the Dutch character,
"Carl Pretzel," taken by Walter Fletcher, were
both good, and loudly encored. This entertainment
cannot fail to be a perfect success in
drawing houses wherever it goes.
