TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH.
Week Beginning May 11th.
FARNUM & NELSON: Man and a woman who do a comedy acrobatic turn. Much better tha the average act in its class. 11 minutes full stage.
WRIGHT HUNTINGTON & CO: Two men and a woman presenting the sketch entitled "A Stolen Kiss." This playlet is a good one and would go better if it were acted better. 21 minutes full stage.
KITTY WOLFE: Singing comedienne. She makes an excellent appearance and delivers her material in an artistic way. She is going very well in this house. 12 minutes in 1.
BEATRICE MORELAND: Presenting a society monologue. Her material is not sufficiently removed from a style that has been worn almost threadbare for her to make a ten strike. 12 minutes in 1.
GALLAGHER, BARRETT & CO.: presenting the skit entitled "The Stock Brokers." There is no connection between the title and the material introduced, but this matters little as they make them laugh long and loud. 15 minutes in 3. Can finish in 1.
THE BASQUE TRIO: (Three members of the La Basque Quartour. The female member of the party being ill was unable to appear.) No better singing number has ever been put upon the stage of this theater. Their voices are beautiful and they harmonize exquisitely. 12 minutes in 1.
TOM NAWN & CO.: presenting the sketch entitled "Pat and the Genii." This splendid vehicle is too well known to make comment necessary suffice it to say that there is nothing better in the sketch line being offered to the public. 27 minutes full stage.
CULVER'S BICYCLE LOOP: It consists of two wheels xxx 18 feet in diameter inside of which two men ride bicycles. It is a great novelty and would cause a bigger hit than it does were it not for the fact that something of the same order has been offered here before. 8 minutes full stage.
THE AMERICAN BIOGRAPH: Scored as it always does.
