BUFFALO BILL AND THE OTHERS.

The Opera House was crowded almost as
full as it would hold, last evening, by an audience,
through which a few ladies were
sprinkled, eager to see "Buffalo Bill," “Texas
Jack," Buntline, the familiar writer, and the
big injuns in their war paint. The entertainment
was of a rugged and exciting nature and
seemed to give complete satisfaction. It
opened with a pleasant little comedy in which
some very good acting was displayed, but we
are unable to specify the actors as by chance
the management had failed to receive their
programmes and, hence, so had the audience.
The play of "The Scouts of the Prairie" consisted
of western, life scenes representing
scouting enterprise, Indian friendship, white
men's hate and turpitude, war parties, war
dances, scalpings, rescues by the scouts, and
closing with a the scouts and the Indians, with a flaming
“prairie on fire" in the background.
"Ned Buntline" (E. Z. C. JUDSON) appeared in
his character of "Cale Durg," and filled it to
the satisfaction of all. “Buffalo Bill,” (W. F.
Cody) and “Texas Jack," (J. B. OMORHUNDRO,)
drew hearty applause on their appearance, and
after the first grand skirmish, in which "Durg"
is rescued from the stake, were, with Buntline,
called before the curtain by the wildest applause.
Mlle MORLACCHI as "Dove Eye," was
received with favor, and represented well the
good side of the Indian character. "Hazel
Eye'' was warmly applauded in her part of
the pale-faced maiden, as he was cautious
not to "give the name a bad place." The Indians
were the real material and were decidedly
interesting in their "death dance," "scalp
dance," and their character as marks for the
Scouts' bullets. Tonight the play will be repeated,
and no doubt a large audience will
witness it.
