TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH.,
July 22, 1907.  J. H. Finn.
The Balzers.
Two men working straight acrobatics, and with the tramplin. They work fast and sure, and while the act would be scarcily strong enough to close it makes an excellent opening act. 8 min. FS.
Hibbert & Warren.
Piano player and eccentric dancer, both in blackface. The eccentric dancer pleased our audience very much, and the act as a whole made quite a strong hit in this spot. 12 min. in two.
Constantine Sisters.
Three young women who last appeared in Detroit with "The Vanderbilt Cup." Their whirlwind dancing is on the order of the Three Madcaps, and they do a little singing and a little acrobatic work. It can be classed as a good act. 10 min. FS.
James H. Cullen.
This monologist appeared to better advantage than on the occasion of his last appearance here. Still I do not consider him a first-class article by any means. 14 min. in one.
Frederick Bros. & Burns.
This comedy and musical act is quite a favorite here, and it went strong as usual. 16 min. in 3- 7 min. in one.
Henry E. Dixey.
Again presenting "David Garrick," assisted by Marie Nordstrom. While this sketch, as presented by Mr. Dixey, is dainty and clever, it is almost entirely lost on our summer audiences. However it keeps up the tone throughout the summer, and that helps some. 18 min. FS.
Cooper & Robinson.
This colored team does about as well here as any colored team in the business. As usual it scored a hit, part of the success being attributal to the soft spot on the bill. 16 min. in one.
Herbert's Dogs.
This is a very good dog act for the summer season, and proved quite interesting to our country cousins. 12 min. FS.
Kinetograph.
The film showing the Detroit Elks in Philadelphia is short but very good, many of the faces being easily distinguishable.
