TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
Week of Dec. 7, 1903.

A. D. ROBBINS: Trick bicycle riding of more than ordinary merit. His Whirling on one wheel is rather sensational. Good opening or closing act. F. S. 7 mins.

HAINES & VIDOC?] Black face talking act. Humor of Haines is infectious. These men have improved. Went very well here. 15 mins. in one.

FLEURY TRIO: Two handsome women and a man in eccentric dancing act, French song. Act is dressed well and on the whole novel and entertaining. F. S. 8 mins.

ADOLPH ZINK: Imitations of May Irwin, Lottie Collins and dude. Picture machine show him making his changes in the dressing room. The lilliputian makes good but will not do for a headliner. 16 mins. in one.

Snyder & BUCKLEY: Musical act into which is injected considerable fun. This act is always received well here. F. S. Close in one. 23 mins.

NELSON FAMILY:, Ten in number. One of the best acrobatic acts in the business. Willie and Tina Nelson are the greatest ground tumblers ever seen on this stage. Good headline act. F. S. 8 mins.

JOHN KERNELL: Well received here for old times sake. Has some new jokes and some old ones. 16 mins. in one.

COOK & SONORA:  Tramp and soubrette. Grotesque dancing of Cook and singing of Miss Sonora are very good. Act went very well here. F. S. Close in one. 21 mins.

La TROUPE CARMEN: Two men, two girls and youth in very good wire and acrobatic act. Closed the show here but it held the audience to the finish. F. S. 16 mins.
