TatIierland.

The play presented at the Theatre last
ninht by Mr.. Charles 4. Gardner, Father
land. Is very pleasant. 1t presents, rouan-
ticallv Of course. the everyday scenes of
the Tyrol in faithful and truthful man
ner, and is aerceably different from the ca
aegerated caricature of the German
cbaractsr SO often forced before the pub
lie. The plot Of the play is the same old
mclodrama plqt.a n. hero, heroine and and
with quaint humor. and is clearly and
freshly written.
Mr.. Gardner plays the part of the roll
licking Tyrolean guide IN "a way that. IS
pleasant to see, and brings out the rich
humor Of the part without OVERRIDING IT,.
lie dances gracefully and sings beauti-
fully. Two of the songs, The Lilac and
Gesuudheit," are fine types Of German
melody, and the taste with which Ar.
Gardner sings them brings out their beaY-
ties.
Fatherland" will be presented again
tonight, tomorrow afternoon, and to-
morrow night.
