185 TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT. HACKER AND LESTER-Two men in a comedy-acrobatic-cyclist act. The act is a first-class opening act. The men do some remarkable stunts awheel. 9 min. F. S. JOE. FLYNN-Monologue and singing turn of little merit. He lacks magnetism and his stuff is not bright, and some of it is very old. 19 min. in one. VILONA SISTERS -Two rather homely women who play the violin and piano quite artistically. They went very well here particularly with the box people and the more cultured of the downstairs generally. 14 min F. S. EDDIE GARVIE AND MOLLIE THOMPSON-These people who have recently entered vaudeville after starring in "Mr. Jolly of Joliet" didn't have their act whipped into proper shape, but there is no question but that they will make good. 21 min. F. S. EDDIE FOY-This old-time clown-comedian appeared in an old-girl character and succeeded quite well in amusing the audience. He went better than we really expected, and his name drew large crowds. 10 min. F. S. WATSON, HUTCHINGS, EDWARDS & CO.-Two men and a woman in a bunch of nonsense entitled "The Vaudeville Exchange." The sketch was built solely for laughing purposes, and it fulfilled its mission. It went very strong here. 23 min. F. S. MISS ELSIE JANIS (FORMERLY LITTLE ELSIE)- Miss Janis have improved considerable since her last appearance here and was one of the hits of the bill. Her imitation of Vesta Tilley was the best thing she did. 18 min. in one. 4 SENSATIONAL BOISES- Two men a boy and a girl in a casting act similar to the Four Lukens. This act is one of the best closing acts in vaudeville and it held the audience to the very end. 9 min. F. S.
