Report on acts playing The Scenic Temple,week of July 21,1913.
Show seen by C.L.McNally,Monday matinees and eve.

Brown Bros.
Two men, who work in one 14 minutes. Singing,dancing,talking,and roller skating. The act aside from the skating is poor, but the skating, in which they do some funny falls is good,and pulls the act by. Fair act as a whole. It would be well to mention that one of the men is an  exceptionally good eccentric dancer. The act went big at night.

Mack and Worth.
Man and woman,who work in olio in one,14 minutes. They do singing,talking,and costume changes. A well dressed act. Their singing is fair ,and they go fairly well. A well dressed act. Their singing is fair and they go fairly well.

The Welsh American Trio.
Two men and a woman in a straight singing act. Work in one,14 minutes. Good voices,and the act pleases the audience.

Charles Leonard Fletcher.
Works in center door fancy in full stage. Impersonatins,and character sketches of acters and literary celebrities. One of his numbers is an impersonation of Chas. Warren in "At The Telephone" which are very good. Act pleased.

E.T.Alexander.
Works 10 minutes in full stage. He opens his act by playing a selection on the ocarin a,which is good. He then proceeds to paint two oil paintings,and although the offering is slight it pleased the audience very much. A good act,and it went good. These aintings are passed to anyone in the audience who desires them and this is a decided novelty.

Donohue and Stewart.
A man and woman who work 15 minutes in olio in one. T heir act consists of a lot of foolish nonsense,roughly thrown together,but the audience received it all,in fact it was a hit at the evening performances. Singing,talking,comedy,and some exceptionally good eccentric dancing. The act is queerly dressed,the man wearing skin tights and the woman mens trousers and a ladies shirtwaist. The act is fairly good.

Chas. Warren and Co
One woman and two men in a comedy sketch entitled"The Here" The act is well staged in full stage, and the sketch itself has a good plot. The only detriment to the act was the seeming newness of it,the acting being different at each performance.The acters are good,but the act seems to be new to them. With a few weeks experience the act will be good to play anywhere. Well received.

Charles Leonard Fletcher.
The Impersonator changed his bill for the last three days.
The Impersonator changed his bill for the last three days, and the act is better than the first three. His Impersonation of an old veteran is very good indeed. The audience applauding wildly. Another good impersation is that of a strike-breaker on trial for his life. went very good.
