| 16AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Buffalo Bill drew a packaged audience last evening
at this hall, principally because of his dime-
novel reputation, his startling billing and his
sensational parade in his afternoon. He gives
a show which many classes of people thoroughly
enjoy- being really a dime novel dramatized.
Of course it can hardly be spike of as a theoretical
entertainment, as none of the participants
make much pretension to acting.
The incidents are intended to be
exciting, and in some cases are so, but if it were
not for Cody's reputation earned in other fields,
his excellent markmandship, and the romance
of his career, there would be little attraction in
the show. The "support" is much weaker than
it was on the last visit of the company to Des
Moines. | 16AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
