26BUFFALO BILL AND "PRAIRIE WAIF." Tomorrow night Buffalo Bill will present his drama at Coates' Opera house. The Cleveland Herald says: "The enthusiasm opened with the rise of the curtain, increased with each act, and was at white heat at the close. The audience came to admire and enjoy, and did both to their hearts' content. Of course there are a great many theatre-goers to whom the border drama has no attraction, but those who take pleasure in that line can find nothing better than Mr. W. F. Cody and his "Prairie Waif." The play is a new one for this reason, and some very pretty scenes. There is less blood-letting, fewer scalps taken, and not so many Indian forays as have occured in pieces of the sort presented before. The second act contains a love making scene which "Bill" plays with a naturalness that suggests great experience in younger days. His fancy shooting is admirable. He has a very good support, especially in Miss Fletcher as Oneta, Mr. Keen as Hans, and Mr. Charles as Captain Russell. The rest of the support is good, and the Indians add a most attractive picture. Cody himself is the same cool, natural and handsome fellow that Cleveland has become so well acquainted with and his play is clean and pretty.
