BUFFALO BILL - The Buffalo Combination opens at Mechanics' Hall this evening. The Mail of this morning speaks as follows in reference to their performance in that city last night: "There was a very large attendance last night to see the one performance of ‘Life on the Border,' in which Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, and Arizona John, and a strong cast appear. The play is full of strong incident and interest, and life on the border is illustrated with a vigor and naturalness almost startling. The acting of the three named is that of men familiar with the scenes of fight and hairbreadth escapes which they portray, and the actual battles with Indians and border ruffians, in which the terrible repeating rifle comes into frequent play are really lifelike. The Jedediah Broadbrim of Mr. T. Z. Graham was Mies Laurn Fay, Misa Lillian Walte, and Miss Ada Forrestor were very successful as Betty Mallany, Mrs. Raynolds, and Emma Roynolds. The play was effectively set, and the applause throughout extremely hearty. The musical and Terpsichorean comedietta, "Thrice Married," introduced M'lle Morlacchi, whose dancing was much admired, and the other parts were well, filled." A very fine orchestra accompanies the troupe, under the direction of Prof. Meiring. Reserved Beate at Grossman's.
