TEMPLE THEATER, JUNE 5., 1905
Detroit, Mich. J. H. Finn.

CHARLES WILDARE-"THe Human Parrot." His second appearance here. He repeated the big hit he made on the occasion of his first appearance and has everybody guessing as to how he imitates birds. 10 min. in one.

S. MILLER KENT-Supported by Frank I. Frayne in a playset entitle "Just Dorothy." While both Mr. Kent and Mr. Frayne are very capable actors the vehicle they have is quite ordinary. I wouldn't like to see it come back again. 15 min. F. S.

PAT ROONEY AND MARION RENT-Very good dancing, and very bad comedy and singing, with an attempt at piano playing by Miss Bent. I believe the show would have been improved had this act opened it. 13 min. F. S. 3 in 1

MAY DURYEA AND W. A. MORTIMER-As presented now "The Imposter" is a rattling good comedy and would stand out on most any bill. 22 min. F. S.

AL. LAWRENCE-His monologue is practically the same as he presented here in the last two trips. It is neither real good nor real bad. I hope this is his last appearance here for at least two years. 19 min. in 1

VERA KING-Singing and monologue. Rather handsome, well dressed woman who averages better than any one in her line with the exception of Jessie Couthoui. 13 min. in one.

THE RICE FAMILY-Two pretty girls and one boy in violin selections in costume. This is a very neat act and is particularly pleasing to our matinee audiences. I would like to have seen them down the bill for it is too good to open with. 14 min. F. S. Close in one.

MILLMAN TRIO-Tight wire experts, man, woman and girl. This is one of the best tight wire acts I have ever seen. The girl is full of ginger and good looking. They made a big hit. 11 min. F. S.
