Temple Detroit Dec. 23, 1907. REDFORD & WINCHESTER. As we stated before this is a very good comedy juggling act, and this week it serves us well in this spot as it starts the show off in fine shape. 14 min. FS. AURIE DAGWELL. Opened rather tame but after she discarded her college gown and got down to the songs that mother used to sing she got the audience going and coming and closed to strong applause, taking four bows. 12 min. in one. REIFF BROTHERS. Brought a new medley of popular songs and made an instantaneous hit. I regard this act as one of the best, if not the best, in this particular line on the circuit. 7 min. in 3. 4 min. in one. AGNES SCOTT & HORACE WRIGHT. Presenting "The Wall Between." I cannot recall ever seeing a vaudeville playlet with so much heart interest as is contained in this little playlet of sentiment, and I cannot recall ever seeing in vaudeville a more charming and captivating ingenue than Miss Scott. Mr. Wright has a beautiful high tenor voice, and the playlet and players are a fine addition to the vaudeville stage, a tonic for the regular vaudeville patron a revelation to the occasional visitor. 22 min. FS. ELMER TENLEY. Tenley brought us some new material and used considerable of his old, but he never went better. On the occasion of his last visit he was almost a frost. One of the reasons for his success this week is his fortunate position on the bill. 17 min. in one. CLAYTON WHITE & MARIE STUART. Presenting for the first time their new sketch "Cherie." This sketch is fully up to the standard of "Paris" and "Dickie" but better than either in the matter of refinement of lines and business. There is not the Parisian flavor so noticeable in the mentioned playlets, and it is fully as acceptable to the women of our matinees as it is at night. 26 min. FS. ANCOLITTI and his DOG. This is an excellent novelty act, and while it does not amount to a great deal on the whole Ancolitti works it up in good shape and it pleases everybody. 10 min. in one. LA TROUPE CARMEN. Too well known on the circuit to need special mention. It serve as a very good closing act for this bill. 12 min. FS. KINETOGRAPH. "The Little Girl Who Did Not Believe in Santa Claus," (new film) No better series of pictures could be conceived for Christmas week, and it acted as a fine dessert for a great feast. 147
