Keith-Albee manager reports, September 2, 1902 - September 3, 1903

Page 238

TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH. [MICHIGAN]

Week Beginning April 6th

THE HARMONY FOUR: Four men who do a musical act (vocal and instrumental) for which they dress ludicrously. Their comedy could be much better, in in fact a lot of it could be "cut out" with improvement to the turn. 14 minutes full stage and 7 minutes in 1.
THE LIVINGSTONS: A man and two women who do a splendid acrobatic act. 9 minutes full stage.
CARSON & WILLARD: Two men who do a burlesque German talking, singing and dancing turn. Just a fair act. 15 minutes in 1. 
THE SEMINARY GIRLS: A musical novelty in which four women and three men participate the latter made up as a wench. While the idea is a good one it has not been properly carried out. The verbose dialogue that is introduced by the male members while the women are making a change of costume, is tiresome and irrelevant. The set will not do in its present shape. 27 minutes full stage and 4 minutes in 1.
JULES & ELLA GARRISON: Burlesque artists. They are going big in this house. They dress richly and inject a lot of fire and ginger into their work. 16 minutes full stage.
DOROTHY MORTON: Prima donna. She is in better voice and physical form than she was when she last appeared in this city. She is making good. 9 minutes in 1.
MR. & MRS. JIMMY BARRY: Presenting the sketch entitled "A Skin Game". These performers are too well known to require any comment. They always make good. 20 minutes in 3 and 3 minutes in 1.
THE TWO BARITONES (J. Evans Lloyd & Lillian Waltone) Vocalists. They have good voices and do a very neat turn. 12 minutes in 3 and 3 minutes in one.
KENO, WELCH & MELROSE: Three men who do a comedy acrobatic act. One of the very best in its class. 8 minutes full stage.
