Temple theater, Detroit, Mich., July 9, 1906.-This bill is very good for this season of the year, all the acts receiving an abundance of applause.
J. H. Finn.

Sadi Alfarabi, an equilibrist, works slow and is not up to the standard of other equilibrists we have had. 10FS.

Swan & Bambard, eccentric comedians, gave us same act as when last here. 16FS.

Flo Adler has new songs, same boy, and went strong as usual. 10 in 1.

Mr and Mrs. Perkins Fisher gave us the same old but very pretty sketch "The Half Way House." Got advance applause, and audience seemed to remember sketch. 17FS.

Johnnie Stanley & Grace Leonard do considerable of George Cohan's stuff. Both clever. Would do nicely for winter bill 14 in 1.

Sisters Rappo, Russian dancers, pleasing appearance and dress clever and graceful. 7FS.

Howard & Howard have improved since last here. Best singers on the bill. Hebrew comedy well received. 15 in 1.

Four Bards are best quartet of acrobats in America. Will enlarge act to five minutes. The prospective boy is a lightweight said to be a marvel. 8FS.

KINETOGRAPH-"Life of a Cowboy." Although this is a "fake" picture it is one of the best we have ever had. It includes the chase of a band of pillaging Indians by a band of cowboys, and excitement runs all the way through.
