TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH., DEC. 25, 1905. This is a very good show.  H. J. Finn.

KEELER'S IMPERIAL JAPS.
Five men and one woman in foot juggling and top spinning. This is one of the oldest Jap troupes in the country, and it is an extraordinary good opening act. 15 min. F. S.

MAJESTIC TRIO. 
Two colored men and a colored woman in songs, dances and comedy. A very good act that put the audience in the proper spirit to appreciate the good things that followed. 18 min. in one.

CABARET'S DOGS.
A nice, little dog act, diverting and interesting. Somewhat different from the usual dog act. 9 min. R. S.

CLARICE VANCE.
Has some new and catchy songs but does not go as well as I expected she would. I think if she would sing in a little lower key she would be appreciated more. 9 min. in one.

JAS. F. DOLAN & IDA LENNARD.
Presenting for the first time here "The Wire Tapper." This sketch is badly put together, rather disjointed and vague. If Dolan would get a good sketch he would be valuable to vaudeville. 22 in. F. S.

CLIFTON CRAWFORD.
One of the best, if not the best, singing comedians in vaudeville. His serious recitation is almost electrifying. 18 min.  in one.

FRANK D. [BRYANT'S?] AMERICAN GIRLS.
This is one of the best big acts we ever played. The dozen girls are pretty and well [beilled?] and [Bryant?] is a good actor and singer. The patriotic numbers were received with great applause. 19 min. F. S. Open in one.
