The duet by John Montford and Walter Kingsley entitled “The Battle Eve." calls forth tumultuous applause daily. f, wo ' n °, u lightful duets, “Killarney and At the End of the Sunset Trail, sung by Thelma Trott and Mr. Montfoit, are also an attractive feature of the programme. Mr. Kingsley also sang “Mountain Maid” in his inimitable wav with rich tones and strong emotinnal force “Scratcher Boss has evidently saved his best “scratcher®sms” for this last week, for he has never been funnier. His amusing burlesaue of a pianist is a perfect gem of comedy, and kept the House of laughter. As usual, Aithui Hems W delighted everyonewith his comedy sketches Altogether this farewell programme Is one that should not be missed by anv theatre-lover.
