W. F. Cody by the popular author, Col. Prentiss Ingraham, seems peculiarly adapted for the actor and his troupe. The many thrilling scenes, hair-breadth escapes, rescues and contests keep the excitement up to fever heat from first to last. The play is well written and is given by Mr. Cody and his company in an unexceptionable manner. We have little room to particularize, but the acting of Mr. Cody and of Miss Lydia Denier, a Wild Nellie, were highly spoken of and warmly applauded. The support was also good, Willard making a capital Jew and every one "should smile" at Judge Chincapin Shyster. Buttermilk and his donkey brought down the house, and the cheers were loud and long at the close of each act. The fancy rifle shooting by the Knight of the Plains was applauded, as it well deserved. Mr. Cody may rest assured of one fact, that so long as he gives a play as respectable and free from anything low he will be greeted by a rousing audience when he visits Jacksonville. |
