National Theater.
"Life on the Border" was repeated last night to a very good house. The piece passed off as smoothly as could have been desired from first to last, and was frequently and heartily applauded. Several fine tableaux conto in at the end of the acts, all of which were duly appreciated and encored, the "gods" being particularly vociferous and enthusiastic. The scene introducing the bear brings down the youngsters. Bruin certainly does his part to perfection. Buffalo Bill and Captain Jack (Cody and Crawford) act their respective parts very naturally, showing nothing of the "rip roarers" usually introduced in such plays. Billings was most satisfactory as General Duncan, and Simms made great fun as Jedediah Broadbrim, particularly in his interview with the bear. Miss Gertie Granville sang a song very sweetly and loudly encored. To-night will be given the "Red Right Hand," which will no doubt crowd the house, as the piece is full of startling situations, with much fun sprinkled all through it. Those who have seen Buffalo Bill and Captain Jack in " Life on the Border" will wish to see them in the piece that is to be given tonight.
