194At the Academy the Hon. W. F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, has about struck the popular fancy of a certain class of people, who crave border drama in allopathic doses, and the audiences have been large, if not especially demonstrative. The play which Mr. Cody brought out on this occasion was written for him by Charles Foster, and is entitled "Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge," introducing the great scout himself in the title role, supported by a full company, including half a dozen Indians. The play is without much literary merit, but is not unskillfully put together, and contains plenty of material with which to while away a few hours. As the class of men to whom Mr. Cody belongs, and whom he represents on the stage, will be soon among the past, and as they have rendered good service to humanity and civilization on this continent, the deficiencies of his play can be readily overlooked in his play can be readily overlooked in his efforts to give late-comers an idea of border life. The closing performances on "Twenty Days" will be given this afternoon and evening. | 194At the Academy the Hon. W. F.
