31 TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH. [MICHIGAN] June 4, 1906. Josie and Willie Barrows presented a neat little singing and dancing act. 9 min. in one. Findlay & Burke brought back their old travesty act intact. They would go better further down in the bill. 12 min. F. S. 3 in one. Bedini & Arthur did not go as well as formerly, and not getting the laughs they expected they let down in their work. 12 min. F. S. 2 in one. Edwin Stevens has added a woman to his act which does not help it any. It is the same act he presented on two former occasions. 24 min. F. S. Can close in one. Doherty sisters have added some imitations to their act which are neither good nor bad. 14 min. in one. Claude Gillingwater with a company of five, presenting his new comedy "A Strenuous Proposal." This offering is not worthy of Gillingwater who is capable of better things. Very few men can be both author and actor, and Gillingwater is not among the few. 30 min. F. S. Ben Welch got the only hearty laughter on the bill. He has considerable new material. 18 min. in one. Piccolo midgets have been here so often that their act creates only mild interest. 15 min. F. S. Open in one. Comment-The Doherty sisters were substituted for Malloy Bros., Brooks & Halliday, cancelled on account of sickness, and the midgets were substituted for Rosaire & Doreto cancelled on account of injury. Finn. ---
