Buffalo Bill will be welcomed gladly tonight
as the finest specimen of the frontiersman
extant. It is real life, and no
man on the stage can ever enter into the
wild life of a hunter and scout as the great
scout himself. The house will be crowded,
just as it should be, if the people want to
see the great Cody re-enact his border life
on the stage.

THE KNIGHT OF THE PLAINS.
Durley Hall was jammed full of eager
spectators Monday night to witness the
Buffalo Bill combination in their rendition
of the thrilling drama "The Knight
of the Plains." The play is an excellent
dramatization of its peculiar character.
It is replete with happy incidents and
pleasing surprises, as step by step the
whole plan is developed. Buffalo Bill
sustained the leading role in his inimitable
manner, and won deafening applause
for his extraordinary skill as a marksman.
The support was excellent, in fact
far above the average show of even a
higher type. Col. Prentiss Ingraham,
the author of the play and manager of
the troupe, has displayed rare ability in
this gem of border life, in which Buffalo
Bill is the ideal of a frontiersman. Much
of the Dick Turpin, knock down and
drag out feature has been obliterated,
and for a play of its kinds there is none
better.

BUFFALO BILL
Buffalo Bill attracted to the Opera
House last night one of the largest audiences
ever within the walls of the building.
Over 1200 tickets were taken at the
doors. The play was enthusiastically
received.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.--Buffalo Bill and his
Pawnee Chiefs had a $1,000 house last night.
The gallery and family circle were literally
packed with boys, and never were actors more
enthusiastically applauded than Bill, Nellie,
Red Eagle and the donkey, The wild-horse
dance was true to the life, and was performed
by real Indians with regular built tomahawks
and spears Cody's rifle-shooting is something
marvelous, and excels the marksmanship
of Frank Frayne, Carver and Boardus. The
play, the Knight of the Plains was written by
an old plainsman, Col. Ingraham, a son of
the celebrated preacher-novelist of Mississippi.
It contains blood and thunder enough to satisfy
the most sanguinary taste, and is not without
literary merit.

Although the fall of rain last night might
have astonished Noah, a very large audience
greeted Buffalo Bill at the National Theatre;
the lower portions of the auditorium being comfortably
