ADJUSTMENTS.
KARL GARDNER.

/
Karl Gardner began an engagement
last night at the Bush street Theatre IN
the Tyrolean comedy Fatheriand. piece
which is better constructed and much
more interesting than many OF the dramas
/ which are in vogue. Mr.. Gardner as Her
man Leopold" Tyrolean guide, is the
central figure of the play, and the various
scenes give him abundant opportunity to
| use a Very good dialect, TO sing a number
| of songs and to dance. He has a very good
voice, which be uses with effect. and the
| songs which he sings are pretty and tune
| full. There is charming widow, played
| by Miss Eva Byron, who is pursued by a
rascaIly brother-in-law, and the hero. the
gallant Tyrolean guide, has his hands full
| in taking care of the widow and making
! love TO her in the intervals of the villain 5
pursuit. Virtue is of course, triumphant
and vice baffleel. The four acts of the
play afford a chance for great deal OF
local color in dress and scenery, and strict
attention has been paid to detail in these
respects. Fatherland Is musical, enter
tanning and numerous, and was received
with much applause last evening. Mr..
Gardner being called before the curtain a
number of times, and the applause being
frequent and sincere.-San Francisco
Chronicle, July 80 1889.
