61"Buffalo Bill." Hon. Wm. F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill") and his company gave the first of two performances at the Academy of Music last evening, and the audience was a large one. The dress circle was well fitted, there was no unoccupied room in the family circle, and as for the gallery, that proved utterly inadequate and several scores of gods failed to gain admission. The play was "The Prairie Waif," written expressly for Mr. Cody by John A. Stevens, author of "Unknown," and is, we think, the best border drama Mr. Cody has in his repertoire. Of course, Mr. Cody appeared in his original role of Buffalo Bill, and played his part in a was peculiar to himself. He has the benefit of exciting situations and strong climaxes and figures in them to good advantage. As everybody knows, he is a fine looking fellow, graceful in manner and gentlemanly in deportment. He can draw a knife, pull a revolver and handle a rifle more gracefully and effectively than any man we know of, and he never fails to bring down the house in the heroic scenes. His role was well sustained and his performance showed a versatility which pleased the audience exceedingly. The supporting company is the best he has ever played here. The "Mark Stanley" of Mr. R. C. White is a good performance; the "Jim Hardie" and "Jack Hardie" of Harry Clifton and George James are well taken care of ; Mr. Jule Keen is very funny as "Hans," and the other gentlemen in the cast are unexceptionable. Wm. F. Cody, or better known as "Buffalo Bill," will appear at the new Opera House next Saturday, October 8th. | 61"Buffalo Bill." Hon. Wm. F.
