164Buffalo Bill. There was a very good house at the Theatre last night, and the performance went off in fine style. Buffalo Bill, the Hon. Wm. F. Cody, was the principal attraction. As an actor on the mini stage he is a failure, though in real life a big success; but he went through his part in an off-hand don't-me-care sort of manner that took immensely with the boys in the gallery, who were all "well up" in the history of his numerous scouting adventures and penils in the far West. His rifle practice was very good, but in the glasshall shooting, somehow, he made a failure--and the bow-and-arrow practice of the Indians rather shamed his efforts in that line. The actors in the drama performed their parts very well; but the whole performance was rather rough and disjointed, and whether we consider it from an aesthetic, dramatic, or intellectual standpoint, it did not come up in any respect to public expectations. The "Indians" are real live sons of the forest, and the Irish comedian a true Corkonian, whose performances with the trained donkey was pronounced the best thing on the hill. The performance will be repeated to-night and for Saturday matinee, and there will be a change of programme for Saturday night. | 164Buffalo Bill.
