TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH. MAY 11, 1904.
MURPHY AND FRANCES
Colored man and woman in a singing dancing and talking act. I don't think much of the woman but the man is fairly clever. However the act went big with our audiences. 15 min. in one.
BROTHERS DAMM
One of the best acrobatic acts in the business. 7 min. F. S.
JAMES F. MACDONALD
Refined singing and story telling act. He appeared to good advantage and was well received by our audiences. 17 min. in one.
YOUNG AND DEVOIE
A young man and a pretty girl in the best soft shoe dancing act in vaudeville. Our audiences went strong to this act which showed good judgment on the part of the audience. 10 min. in two. Can close in one.
EDNA WALLACE HOPPER & CO.
In "The March of Time." Miss Hopper was very dainty and clever. The playlet was well acted. Miss Hopper sings "The Girl you Love" exquisitely. She dresses finely. H. Hassard Short acts magnificently, as does Miss Lilla Vane. I believe I can write a better sketch. Miss Hopper is a drawing card. 23 min. F. S.
QUIGLEY BROTHERS
This is, perhaps the best talking act in vaudeville. While they did not go very well on their previous appearance here, the audience gave them an ovation this time which goes to show that you cannot sometimes tell. 17 min. in one.
SISTERS HAWTHORNE
Their "Gondolier" song was rotten but they redeemed themselves with "The Willow Pattern Plate." 14 min. F. S. Can open in one.
EMIL TAFFERY'S DOGS.
This is a very neat and pleasing dog act. 12 min. F. S.
