TEMPLE THEATRE, DETROIT, MICH.
Week of FEB. 20, 1905

AERIAL STUNTS: Man and woman. The most daring and sensational trapeze act seen at this theatre in many months. 9 mins. F. S.
MELANI TRIO: This singing act is almost too well known to require comment. Suffice it to say that they were received here with the same marked esteem that characterized their former appearance. 10 mins. one.
MILTON & DOLLY NOBLES: Owing to a disappointment it was necessary to hold these players over for the current week. Both are artists and were received well.
DEWITT BURNS & TORRENCE: Presenting "The Awakening of Toys". 2 men and a woman in comedy acrobatic act that is pretty and original and goes very strong. 12 mins. F. S.
FANNY RICE: The only fault that was found with Miss Rice's act was her umbrella dance which precedes her cabinet doll act. We think that by the elimination of her dance the act would be a great deal better. 20 mins
CALLAHAN & MACK: Presenting "The Old Neighborhood". This team is now working with a new drop and special scene which makes a very pretty stage picture. Both men are finished actors n this line of work. 19 mins. F. S.
LEW SULLY: Mr. Sully had a rather hard place on the bill being down a little toward the end but he succeeded in entertaining all parts of the house. 16 mins. one.
THEARLE'S OROGINAL [ORIGINAL?] NASHVILLE STUDENTS This act consists of four colored men and four colored women who appear in plantation pastime. As this is their first appearance in public it would be rather unfair to judge them. There are several good voices and there is no doubt but that it will evolute into an exceedingly good act. 20 mins. F. S.
