That the Wheeler & Wilson band were very fortunate, not to say wise, in securing the services of Master Roy Desmond for their grand concert at the Plaza Theatre Sunday night, has been fully proved by the exceedingly large advance sale and the manner in which orders for seat reservations are pouring into the box office. Master Roy Desmond is an eleven year old youth, who has just returned to New York after a successful tour of the middle west in concert productions and whose wonderfully pleasing voice has already endeared him to the hearts of music lovers of the metrop- oils, where he is now appearing. It took several trips to the big town and much wrangling and arranging by Manager CIiffe of the band to secure the boy and Bridgeport is assured of d raaI big treat. Miss Irene HavrilIa,
