OPERA HOUSE.

Last night the sensational frontier drama, "May Cody," with Buffalo Bill as the star attraction, was played to a good and enthusiastic audience. The drama is replete with the most exciting situations, but bordering on the greatest improbabilities, which, however, do not detract from its merit. The interest is not permitted to flag from the beginning of the first act until the curtain is rung down on the last. Buffalo Bill (W. F. Cody) does, without question, represent the scout and frontiersman in the play to perfection, which is greatly enhanced by his magnificent physique and imperial presence. During the piece he gives an exhibition of his masterly rifle shooting, which is marvelous. Miss Gussie De Forrest, as "May Cody," sustains the reputation which she has earned, as a clever and painstaking actress, and adds much to piquancy of the play. -Willie [?], as "Darly McCane," a [?] Celt, is exceedingly pleasing. He steers clear from the old beaten paths of the stage Irishman, and follows up an [entirely?] new and refreshing line of business. The whole play is of an original character, and one to please all classes from the circle to the gods in the gallery. To-night will be presented the melodrama, entitled "The Knight of the Plains, or Buffalo Bill's Best Trail." It will be the last opportunity for Carsonites to witness this thrilling drama, and those who want to pass a pleasant and profitable evening are advised to get seats.
