196 Temple Detroit. Jan. 27, 1908. A. W. ASRA. Assisted by a woman. Act similar to the billiard table act of W. C. Fields. All right for a little novelty act to open with. Could not stand a much better place. 8 min. FS. THE GRASSY'S. Illusion, instrumental, acrobatic. The illusion is great, the acrobatic feature only fair, while the instrumental feature consists of mandolin and guitar playing while at a head-to-head stand. On the whole it is a fair act for an early spot. These two dumb acts coming together start the show rather slow. 15 min. FS. Do not close in one. SPENSER KELLY & FREDERIC ROSE. Straight singing act, and a very good one, the songs being of the popular sort. After their first song they had the audience at their mercy, and they were recalled again and again. 14 min. in one. ED. F. REYNARD. It is perhaps unnecessary to state that Reynard repeated his former successes at this theater. The act has been considerably improved regarding its scenic effects. 16 min. FS. CHRIS RICHARDS. An English comique and dancer. Richards is a large sized hit here. His work is thoroughly delightful both as a comedian, singer and dancer, as a dancer of the eccentric sort he is a revelation. If there are any more like him in the east send them along. 10 min. in one. "THE PIANOPHIENDS." Consists of five men, four women and five pianos, four uprights and a grand. While the acts starts off rather slow it brisks up to a fine climax and was rewarded with more applause than is generally given acts of this general variety. 18 min. FS. MATTHEWS & ASHLEY. Presenting "A Smashup in Chinatown," which has been seen here before. This is a very good act but just a little rough in spots particularly for our matinee audiences. The comedy is excellent and they got a fine hand going away. 21 min. with drop. Close in one. GILLETT'S DOGS & MONKEYS. The best trained dog act in the whole real of vaudeville, and it should draw the little folks to the matinees. 9 min. FS. "A TRIP THROUGH SWITZERLAND" is a fine series of winter scenes and was thoroughly enjoyed.
