Buffalo Bill is a large, broad-shouldered, noble-looking specímen of a man, the very Ideal of one of the scout heroes immortalized by Cooper, a man whose every look is as indicative of fearlessness as ever Bayard possessed or displayed. It is a fact worthy of note that Buffalo Bill, until a year ago, had scarcely ever seen a theatrical performance of any merit, and we hold, that it is a result entitled to great commendation, that in so short a time he is able to stain a character which requires no small knowledge of stage business and theatrical effect. It is an extraordinary thing to have created in real life the character of Buffalo Bill; it is a most difficult task to so impersonate that character upon the boards as to give an audience an adequate impression of its heroism and grandeur, Both of these undertakings has Buffalo Bill accomplished.
Texas Jack and Wild Bill are both large, powerful, fine-looking men, and exhibited considerable ability in their respective parts. Wild Bill was suffering, last evening, with so severe a cold, that most of his lines were necessarily omitted. Texas Jaok threw a lasso with some skill, and, indeed, in all the scenes of the play in which he was prominent, added interest to their success.
