TEMPLE THEATRE, DETROIT, MICH. 
Week of Oct. 1, 1905.

KNIGHT BROS. & SAWTELLE:—Two men and a woman in a neat and clever singing and dancing act. This act is worth what we are paying them but no more. 12 min. F. S. 4 in one.

MR & MRS. GARDNER CRANE: Presenting"A Yankee's Love for Dixie". This is a capital playlet of war times an is capitally acted by both Mr. & Mrs Crane. The only criticism that can be offered is the detail is very imperfect. 23 mins. F. S. 

MARSHALL P. WILDER:- He brought considerable new stuff and appeared to go much stronger than when last here. There is no question but that he will will draw considerable money to the box office. 20  min. with pluch.

LA PETITE MIGNON:- This juvenile comedian gave several impersonations of actresses. I think that her act would go much better if she would do more straight singing. 11 ins in one.

BORANI & NOVARO:- Comedy acrobat act. This man and little woman opened our show and went very strong. This is one of the best opening acts we have ever played. 14 mins. F. S.

JOHN EBERLY:-This baritone singer has a good stage presence, an excellent voice and choice selection of songs. The audience gave him a good hand. 16 mins. in one.

JEWELL'S MANNIKINS:- This is an exceptionally good act and is especially pleasing to the laides and children of the matinees while it both amuses and interests the grownups of the evening performance. 20 min. F. S. 

EIGHT ALLISONS:-These eight German's gave us as good an acrobatic act as we have had in this theatre. They have many new tricks and perform them with ease and grace. 10 mins. F. S.
