"Our karr'--Dore DAVIDSON
Notes of the Stage.

Mr.. Chas. A. Gardner, in his exposition of
scenes in the "Fatherland," at the Opera
house last night, was not disappointed in
drawing the lar ge audience he expected. The
audience was there and all enjoyed the per-
fOrmance, which was new and decidedly re-
freshins. What Scanlon is to the Irish char
acter so Mr.. Gardner is TO the. Swiss. The
scene of the play is laid among the Alps and
the Alpine scenery and stage set
tingS were very real stic There is no
thing in the play to commend itself as work
OF literary art, but IL is an excellent vehicle
for the introduction of Mr.. Gardner's many
specialties and those of his company. and
they used II to very good advantage in keep
ing the audience amused for several hours
His hOmelike, unaffected ways are very natural,
his pretty little scenes with baby Eleanor,
and his sweet singing were very refreshing
and he received encores for his songs and his
dances. The spinning bee, the saengerfest,
the homely old custom of ''bobbing" for
apples, aud even the beer stems were all
very well brought out The company is
tOlera ly well balanced as to dramatic talent
but the music is the feature and in this Mr.
Gardner is ably seconded by a fine TyrJlean
quartntt and two performers upon the
French harm.

1t seems that, upon the announcement that

stage. The manager of the Coincide Fran caise
says: I'VE are not at Constantnople and
such susceptibilities are inadmissable. More
