TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH.
Week beginning Nov. 3rd.
SMITH & DORETTA: Eccentric comedians. While considerable of their material has been seen here on many previous occasions they keep their audiences laughing from the opening to the close of their act. 10 minutes full stage. 4 minutes in 1.
STELLA RINEHART: Wooden and soft shoe dancer. A very food turn of its kind. She is a finished dancer. 7 minutes 1.
LILLIAN BURKHART & CO.: Presenting the sketch "The Salt Cellar." This vehicle was a winner when Miss Burkhart appeared in it some years ago but it will hardly do now. The theme has been worn threadbare. 25 minutes full stage.
SWAN & O'DAY: Black face vocalists and dancers. This pair of performers do a good act. Their comedy is good and they are excellent dancers. 21 minutes in 1.
THE GIRL WITH THE AUBURN HAIR: This great musical and scenic act is too well known to require any praise or criticism. It is, without doubt, the most artistic offering in vaudeville. 14 minutes full stage.
AL LEACH AND THE THREE ROSEBUDS: This quartette, no matter how frequently they return, never fail to score emphatically. They ought for they are clever performers and hard workers. Mr. Leach's dancing is a feature in itself. 14 minutes full stage, 4 minutes in 1.
TOM MOORE: "Coon shouter." Notwithstanding that ragtime and all other coon offerings are getting a trifle tiresome here this performer has caught on. 15 minutes in 1.
JOHNNY AND EMMA RAY: Recent stars in the farce comedy "A Hot Old Tim," This is their initiatory vaudeville appearance and to say that they are making good would be putting it mildly. While their turn went big at the matinee yesterday (their first show), it was a "knock out" in the evening. Their vehicle is a trifle crude and coarse in places but after the pruning knife is used a little it is safe to predict that it will be one of the greatest laugh-makers in vaudeville. 28 minutes full stage. 3 minutes in 1.
HARRY M. PARKER'S EDUCATED DOGS: One of the cleverest canine troupes ever exhibited upon the local stage. 12 minutes full stage.
