The performance opened with the roaring farce, "Turn Him Out," in which the parts were taken be Alf Beverly, Harry Melmer, J.J. Louden, Lydia Denier, Nelie Jones and Harry Irving. The grand attraction of the evening, however, was the presentation of the melodrama, "Knight of the Plains," in which the famous Buffalo Bill assumed the loading part. The drama is thrilling and full of strong situationsm, but displays less of the old "blood and thunder" material than is common in such productions. Buffalo Bill played his part magnificently and in a manner gratifying, superior to those who present imitations, while he offers the realities of we tern life. The company supporting was quite good, and the band of genuine Indians created a genuine surprise.
