TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, SEPT. 12.
JACK THEO TRIO
Two women and a man in an equilibrist act. The man does a head stand on a bottle which sets on a pedestal. The women simply assist in the act. The apparatus is novel and the act is well dressed. 13 F. S.
PIERCE AND MAZIE
This is a quite ordinary singing act of the soubrette and chappie order. The best that can be said of it is that it is well dressed. Neither possess extraordinary voices. 13 in one.
WELCH-MONTROSE TRIO
These three men furnish an acrobatic comedy act of considerable merit. The ground tumbling of the two smaller men is excellent, and the act gets considerable applause. 10 F. S.
MUSICAL KARSEYS
This man and woman extract considerable music from sleigh bells and from a huge instrument they call the giant myriphone. The act is both novel as well as musical and makes good. 9 min F. S.
AL. LAWRENCE
Somehow or other Lawrence always goes strong in this house with his mimicry, stories and smart sayings. While I cannot see him at all it appears that the audience wishes to see a great deal of him. 21 in 1.
JESSIE MILLWARD
This excellent actress assisted by Francis Carlyle presented "The Queen's Messenger" to an appreciative audience. The sketch has little action but it allows Miss Millward to run the whole gamut of human emotions. While I am apprehensive of its drawing powers I feel that it reflects credit on the vaudeville stage. 30 F. S.
McCUE AND CAHILL
these two men appear in a straight singing turn. They have excellent voices and appear to go well here. 14 in 1.
DAN SHERMAN, MABEL DeFOREST & CO.
Presenting "In the Battle of San Dago." This rough sketch was the laughing hit of the bill, but then it must be remembered that the bill is not very strong in comedy. 20 F. S.
