Summary

• Caption across top reads: "Chas. E. Blaney presents Young Buffalo, King of the Wild West in his new play Sheriff of Angel Gulch." Underneath title at right is "By Chas. E. Blaney." Image shows two stage Chinamen playing (and cheating at cards, with a bear wearing a cowboy hat as the third player. In the background are a barman and a cowboy, both laughing. The caption reads "Three of a Kind" and beneath it another line from the play: "Mister Bear, we allee samee honest chinamans!"
• One of the prolific playwright's less successful forays into Western themes. The play is sometimes recorded as "Young Buffalo" and at other times "Sheriff of Angel Gulch." It was playing at the Academy of Music Theatre in December 1906 as "Young Buffalo" but Bordman records it under "Sheriff.." playing at the 3rd Ave. Theatre in October 1908, the year it was also turned into a novel.
