TEMPLE THEATRE
Week October 26th, 1903
First seven acts consists of the Orpheum Show.
1. Albertus & Miller. Comedy club juggling and cornet solos by Miss Miller. Makes a very good opening act. nine minutes Full stage; Five minutes In one.
2. Ed. F. Reynard. One of the best ventriloquists that we have ever played. His stuff is all new, bright and up-to-date. He carried his own setting. Made a big hit Monday. Fifteen minute Full stage.
3. Elizabeth Murray. Had a new line of songs and talk. Went better this time than she has ever done in the house. Thirteen minutes. In one.
4. Merian's Pantomine Dogs. The act opens with Caesar, the mind-reading dog. This part of the performance is certainly wonderful to those who have no idea of how it is accomplished, and it is the talk of the town. The Pantomine is without doubt the best that has ever been accomplished, and this act is the hit of the entire show. Seventeen minutes. Full stage.
5. Victor Moore & Emma Littlefield in a novel act entitled, "Change your Act" or back to the woods." The opening of the act shows the stage hands striking the previous set. It furnishes quite a surprise to the audience and the conversation between Moore and the stage hands creates any number of laughs. Moore is a very good comedian and Miss Littlefield a very clever dancer. Twenty-six minutes. Closing In one twelve minutes.
6. McIntyre & Heath, presenting their new act entitled "Dr. Breakabone" While the act is not to be compared with the Georgia Minstrels yet it introduces McIntyre & Heath. They manage to keep the audience laughing for thirty minutes.
7. The Melani Trio, Italian Street Singers. Very good singing act. It always goes big at our house. fourteen minutes in one.
8. Stelling & Revelle. Good comedy horizontal bar act. eight min- Full stage.
