ADJUSTMENTS.
The ..Hxindergarden.. !.

The audience at the opera house last evening was not very large but made up in enthusiasm and good nature what was lacking in numbers. The "Kindergarden" has held session in Waterbury so often the very fact that it does not become stale but always draws a very fair sized audience is proof of its popularity. It is musical comedy gotten up with the prime object of making people laugh and it succeeds of its purpose without half trying. The company here last night was an excellent one Katie Hart and Alfred Mcdowell carry ing off the honors The singing of Ida Lillian Abrams, John w. H. Byrne and Eddie Giguere was prominent feature of the en- tertainment. Fred Mendoza as Widow Magee needs a little toning down, how ever, before the company can be marked O. K.
