THE SCOUTS- This evening the "Scouts of the Plains" troupe, including Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill, Texas Jack and the perless Morlacchi will appear at Union Hall. That the entertainment will be worthy of patronage we are assured by those who have witnessed the performance in other cities. We have already given sketches of history in the life of the "scouts" and we find the following in regard to M'lle Morlacchi and the company in the All-ny Evening times of Saturday.
"The Scouts" were greeted with a very large house last evening and their peformance met with great flavor. It is really of a better character than the general impression gives it credit for- The force with which the entertainment opens is an unusually good one, serving specially to show the somewhat remarkable talents of M'lle Morlacchi. This lady, if we remember correctly, floated to this country in the great inundation of ballet dancers which followed the astounding success of the "Black Crook", and its successor the "White Fawn". She appeared in New York, but her great success was in prim, proper, puritanical Boston. She took the modern Athenians by storm, and the writer remembers seeing on one occasion the packed audience of the Theatre Com-que, standing on their feet and throwing their hats in the air in a passion of enthuasiam over the wonderful -- and poses of the beautiful --. Then she retired from the stage, bought a farm in Bilerica, a town near Boston, and turned practical granfer, and the story is told of a New York manager coming to secure her for an engagement and finding the queen of the footlights in the field digging potatoes. Then we heard of her with Ned Buntline's party and later of her marriage to "Texas Jack". And now we find her developed into a sparkling own medicine, singing, acting and talking ENglish with a pleasing accent, which captives alike the parquette and the gallery. But the farce in the estimation of the boys is only a "talking" piece as we heard one of the -- last night. It is the "Scouts of the Plains" that is the greatest attraction. Abounding in --; gun powder and Indians , there is still a great deal on --and interest in the play, and it is not -- improbable than half the stuff that that holds the stage at the present time. "The Scouts" show signs of improvement as actors and Mr. COdy especially has improved both in elocution and gesture. The company which supports them is an unusually good one, including Mr. Frank Mordaunt, an actor of much merit. The last performance will take place this evening.
