TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH.
Week Beginning May 25th.

KELLY & RENO: Eccentric acrobats. This act is very good and out of the ordinary groove. 11 minutes full stage.

CHARLOTTE GUYER GEORGE: Contralto singer who has a voice of great beauty. Her first appearance in this house but she caught on big. 12 minutes in 1.

MR. & MRS. HARRY THORNE & CO.: Two men and two women in the one-act comedy "An Up-town Flat." A big laughing success that is played for every point that it contains. 25 minutes full stage.

DRAWEE: Comedy juggler. Just a fair act. 15 minutes in 3 and 3 minutes in 1!

MUSICAL DALE: This artist is too well known to require mention. He is the greatest drawing card in the musical line that plays this theater. 13 minutes in 3 and 7 minutes in 1.

McCOY SISTERS: Two pretty and exquisitely-gowned young women who do a singing and dancing act. Nothing more artistic in the dancing and singing line has ever been offered upon the stage of this theater. 9 minutes full stage.

GEORGE WILSON: Black face comedian. It is doubtful if this performer has a superior, if indeed he has an equal. He tells new stuff of a high order at every performance. 20 minutes in 1.

HAL DAVIS, INEZ MACAULEY & CO.: Presenting the playlet entitled "Pals." Five people are carried for the production of this sketch also every piece of scenery, accessory and "prop." It might be classes as a "comedy-melodrama" for it opens in a light, breezy way and closes with an altercation between the two principal male characters, during the progress of which they break mirrors, incandescent globes and other perishable furniture. The melee culminates by the men fighting on the stairs (the interior being a palace arch) which fall with a crash. The audiences of this house, which will compare intellectually with any in country, have been very demonstrative in their approval of the act. 21 minutes in 3.
THE AMERICAN BIOGRAPH. A  hit as usual.
