AMUSEMENTS.
WALL'S NEW OPERA HOUSE
When curtain rose at Wall's last night the house was less than half full, and it looked very much though Ned Buntline and his troupe were for once to play to losing house, but as the play progressed and people outside hard volley after volley of shots and the war-whoops of the "Big Injun," crowds came rushing into the house inquiring "What up," until the house was nearly full and when the curtain dropped upon the season was present.
The opening comedietta of "Jenny Lind at Last" was full of good points, and brought the audience up to a feeling of good humor, and fully prepared, them for the appearance of Ned and his scouts, and when they came on in force, the most enthusiastic Young America in the house could not fail of being fully satisfied with the sensational accompaniments. Yelling and shooting, war dances, lassoing, killing, and blood and thunder generally, interspersed with several good Irish and German songs and dances, made up an entertainment very acceptable and exciting, and we shall be much mistaken if the house is not" crowded to-night long before the curtain rises.
As the curtain dropped upon the first scene, amid deafening thunders of applause, "Buntline," Jack" came before the curtain, and "Buffalo Bill," alias Hon; W. F. Cody, addressed the audience, alluding to the fact that but a few months ago he was in reality doing on the wild Western plains what he was here attempting to portray for the amusement of others.
A pleasing episode in' the play is the thrilling temperance lecture delivered by "Buntline" in his advice to the Irishman, and the reformation of the Irishman and his subsequent appearance as a sober man. We venture the assertion that Ned in this week's playing will accomplish more for the cause of temperance than did the company at Lincoln Hall last week, who presented to meager houses a purely temperance pląy, and he will reach a class that would not go to Lincoln Hall to hear anything. Remember the matinee tomorrow afternoon. The prices are only twenty-five and fifty cents. Tonight and every night this reek at the regular theater prices.
