TEMPLE THEATRE, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
Week of Apr. 4, 1904.
IRENE LATOUR: Slender pretty girl who does a contortion act with a clever spaniel. This is a very pretty opening act. F. S. 13 mins. Can work in one.
JOHN & LILLIAN HOOVER: Juggling tramp and dancing girl. This act does not go as well as formerly and it is evident that they have not been working for some time. However the act seemed to please our audience. 13 mins. F. S. 2 in one.
WRIGHT HUNTINGTON & CO. Two men and woman in a playlet called "A Stand Off" This playlet was well written but not well acted. however, it compares favorably with better class of playlets now in vaudeville. 23 mins F S
LAURA MILLARD: Handsome, well gowned woman with sweet sympathetic Soprano voice of considerable volume. She went very well with our audience. In fact better than any of the Prima Donna Sopranos, who preceded her at this theatre. 11 mins in one.
HENRY E. DIXEY: In a playlet "Over a Welch Rarebit". He is assisted by Frank E. Aiken, a very capable actor. The playlet is a little classic and was presented in a way that left no room for criticism 18 mins. F.S
A.O. DunCAN:- Ventriloquial comedian. He went big with our audience yesterday as formerly. 14 in 2 and 5 mins. in one.
Lew BLOOM & JANE COOPER: In "A Picture from Life". Bloom's act is the same old tramp act with very little if any new stuff but it is introduced with the assistance of Miss Cooper in a more pretentious way. 23 mins. F S
VAIDIS SISTERS: This is a spectacular trapeze act of considerable merit, is exceptionally well staged and leaves a pleasing impression. 12 mins. F. S.
