Report on acts playing The Scenic Temple, Week of July 10, 1913.
Shw seen Monday matinee by C.L.McNally.

Copper and Eschell.
Man and woman. Work 13 minutes in one. A well-dressed singing act, the lady of the act wearing some very pretty gowns. A fair act.

The Wealyn Trio.
Work in full stage,closing before their own plush drop in one. Two women and one man. They play a sketch with singing and dancing. As there is no plot to the sketch it lacks interest, and on the whole the act is without exception the poorest that we have ever played in the house. Does 15 minutes.

Wilson and Gallagher.
Two comedians who work 13 minutes in one. Singing, talking, and pianologue. A good act. Both use blackface.

Ismed.--Still going good.
