TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH., NOV. 13.-The troule with this show is that nearly all the acts have been seen here on a number of occasions, and none of them, Berzac's excepted, are of startling merit.
J. H. Finn.

FAUST FAMILY-Three boys and a man. The man juggles the boys with his feet. They work slow but sure. 7 min. F. S. 2 in one.

A. O. DUNCAN-Ventriloquist. Brought some new material, but had to cut out one of his gags (What is race suicide? Stop your kidding) Went as well as usual. 14 min. F. S. 3 in one.

"HAPPY" JACK GARDNER-Act is about the same as when last here. Had to cut out last song, line in it about Lillian Russell rassling with a box of cascarets.. 12 min. in one.

EMIL HOCH, JANE ELTON & CO.-It is about time they shelved the racy sketch "Mlle. Ricci." 18 min. F. S.

SHERMAN, DeFOREST & CO.-Presenting the old "Fall of Poor Arthur." This is an excellent laugh producer, but as it has been seen here on a former occasion it has lost its "head." 13 min. F. S.

CLARK'S WINNING WIDOWS-This is an excellent act for the money we pay it. While it is not strong enough for a headline act it was received very well. 19  min. F. S. 5 in one.

ADOLF ZINK-This little fellow has improved his act somewhat and now appears to good advantage. 2o min. in one, with biograph.

BERZAC'S ANIMAL CIRCUS-This is unquestionably the best act of this kind seen here in a long time. The mule was a scream and the ponies on the revolving table were a sensation. 12 min. F. S.

KINETOGRAPH-"The Miller's Daughter" is a good film.
