The trio * * The Last Rose of Summer ” was very well sung by Masters Mulholland, De Vere and Mastin, a youngster aged 6 years with a sweet voice. Master Max Eller received a hearty encore for his singing of “Won’t you buy my pretty flowers.’' The farce “In posßcssioD,” io which T. Brennan, G. Cur« tice, M. Redmond, A. Wilson and P.
