| Page 13 BUFFALO BILL bucked against the circus
in Des Moines, but his reputation had pre-
ceded him, and the Opera House was well
filled last night on the presentation of his
play, "The Knight of the Plains." Bill has
a good company to support him, better by far
than the ordinary run, and the absence of
the "blood and thunder" scenes made the
play more enjoyable. The piece was put on
the stage in the best style, with all of the
best effects, and the thunders of applause
which greeted the great plainsman on his
appearance showed what a hold he has on
the people. However, Bill did not monopo-
lize all of teh applause, the fine bits of acting
done by the members of his troupe coming
in for their full share.
Buffalo Bill's troupe had a good
audience at the Opera house last
night, and the entertainment gave
unbounded satisfaction. We regret
exceedingly that want of space for-
bids the extended notice the enter-
tainment deserves.
...PRENTISS INGRAHAM'S new Play
...tten for Buffalo Bill, was submitted at
the Opera House last evening to public
criticism for the second time. It is es-
sentially a drama of the palins, in its sal-
ient features, resembling those with
which theatre-goers are familiar, yet far
above the average in plot, in situations
and in dialogue. These merits were
brouht out by a company of more than
the excellence ordinarily found in per-
formances of this particular character.
Last evening "The Knight of the Plains"
was presented with special scenery, good
costuming, and a spice of reality was
added by the introduction in the opening
act of a troupe of Nez Perce and Pawnee
Indians and their interpreters. The gal-
anticipated ; but for that matter so were
the dress and parquet circle, and indica-
tive that Buffalo Bill and his combined
novelties in his new drama has a facina-
tion for adults as well as the youthful
portion of the community. ---Hartford
