92Amusements. Opera House - "Life on the Border" was presented last night by Buffalo Bill and a large supporting company, to the apparent intense satisfaction of a crowded gallery, as well as to the entertainment of an audience of respectable proportions down stairs. The appearance of Mr. Cody (Buffalo Bill) was greeted with loud applause, and all through the play there were screams of enthusiasm that made the house ring. Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson and Arizona John were some of the "originals" in the cast, and were duly recognized. Mr. J. V. Arlington, as "Old Sloat," gave a good piece of character acting, and Mr. T. Graham personated Jebadia Broadbrim, the peace commissioner, in a style that created much merriment. The play abounds in specimens of wild, exciting border life, but a great deal of gunpowder business that at first characterized this line of stage attraction has been trimmed out, to make the entertainment more acceptable to the general public. The Buffalo Bill party will close to-night in "Scouts of the Plains." Last night's enthusiasm was indicative of a very large audience to-night. | 92 |
