162Buffalo Bill's Entertainment. An unusually large audience, in point of numbers, assembled at Davis Opera House last evening and enjoyed the mirth-inspiring and deeply interesting drama of " The Prairie Waif, " with its stirring presentation of border life. The play, although critics have declared its lack of plot, forms neverless a well connected story, the central figures being the inimitable " Buffalo Bill," with his manly form, indomitable spirit, generous impulses and trusty rifle, by W. F . Cody; " Onita," a charming delineation of maiden simplicity and piquancy, by Miss Lizzie Fletcher; " Sadie," a pert and pretty American lass, by Miss Connie Thompson; "Mark Stanley," the drunken yet not wholly depraved tool of the Danites, by R. C. White; "Jim" and "Jack Hardie," the unscrupulous Mormon Villains, by Harry Clifton and Geo. T. James; "Hans," the rollicking German, by Jule Keen; "Capt. Russell," the jolly Irishman, by C. W. Charles; the gorgeously-trapped Indians, and the demure mule, while other characters made up a varied and meritorious cast. During one act Mr. Cody gave an admirable exhibition of fancy rifle shooting, and in another the Cheyennes executed a real war dance, while the whole play abounded in interest and called forth repeated roars of applause. The fine orchestra won general praise. | 162Buffalo Bill's Entertainment.
