TEMPLE THEATER JAN. 9, 1905
DETROIT, MICH
ANDERSON & GOINS - Colored men, in a comedy, singing and dancing act.
This team compares favorably with the best of colored teams. 10 in one.
LARSEN SISTERS - Ground tumbling and bar work. Noting sensational about this act, simply a nice, neat little acrobatic turn. 8 min. F. S.
SMITH & COOK - Formerly Cook & Sonora. Two men in a crazy comedy act that will convulse the majority of vaudeville patrons. 16 min. Open in one, Close full stage.
PICCOLO MIDGETS - Same old act, seen on the circuit a number of times, 13 min. Open in one. Close full stage.
BASQUE QUARTETTE - Also too well known for criticism. 13 min. in one.
MR. & MRS SIDNEY DREW & CO. - Presenting "The Yellow Dragon," Would advise those having the Drews booked to request them to present "When Two Hearts Are Won," as "The Yellow Dragon" is very yellow. 22 min. F. S.
STUART BARNES - Barnes went very strong here. While he has made no material change in his material his old stuff took as well as when first presented. 19 min. in one.
PAUL CONCHAS - There is but little difference in the work of Conchas and Spadoni, with just a shade in favor of Conchas. I am inclined to the belief that vaudeville patrons of the first-class do not favor this style of entertainment.
Comment - Had Mr. and Mrs. Drew as good a sketch as "When Two Hearts Are Won," which they presented on the occasion of their last appearance here, this show would be first-class.
J. H, Finn.
