Buffalo Bill Coming - My Geraldine - Sam'l of Posen.

Buffalo Bill is sure to draw an immense
audience to-morrow evening. There is
something so fascinating about the border
drama that few regular theatre goers can
resist the inclination to attend, while the
readers of yellow-backed novels delight in
witnessing the portrayal of the thrilling
scenes of Indian warfare on the stage.
"The Prairie Waif," Written expressly for
Hon. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), is admirably
adapted to this sort of an exhibition.
The Albany Argus says: "Buffalo Bill
had a full house last night, Indeed, it was
a question which was the guller, the Leland,
with the queenly Mary Anderson, or
Martin Hall, with the renowned Western
scout, his band of Indian chiefs, and the
accompanying "blood and thunder." Thus
do tastes and temperaments differ, for,
with radically different entertainments,
both audiences were evidently quite satisfied.
The "Prairie Waif'' was written by
Mr. John A. Stevens, the author of "Unknown,"
and is fair representation of its
class, affording the Western hero of the
plains and his company ample opportunities
for the display of their peculiar powers.
The readers of yellow-covered literature
and the New Your weekly papers
were liberally represented in the gallery,
which was crowded to suffocation, and applause
was almost incessant."
