66 TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT-July 30. Quite a good bill for this season of the year. Marie Wainwright made good with her sketch, principally on account of her excellent support in Frank Sheridan. Had to cut several acts as show run too long. J. H. Finn. ST. ONGE BROTHERS- An average comedy bicycle act. In monologue cut "Babies God bless 'em-and again God--bless 'em." "If she arrested a man would she take him to the lockup or-Think if over." We cut out entire monologue to shorten show. 18 min. Can close in one. DOROTHY KENTON- A nice little banjo act that went away with considerable applause. 12 min. in one. COLUMBIA COMEDY FOUR- Just a fair singing and comedy act that will do all right for a summer show. Ran 22 min, cut to 18 for the remainder of the week. MARIE WAINWRIGHT- In "Our Baby." A neat sketch ably presented by Miss Wainwright and Frank Sheridan. Sheridan is a clever actor, last season in leads in "The Clemenceau Case." 24 min. FS. JOSEPHINE GASSMAN & "PICKS."- An entire new act that went very well with the Monday audiences. 22 min. Open and close in one. ECKERT & BERG- A very nice singing act, Berg good soprano, Eckert good tenor, tasty scenery. We cut out Eckert's song in one to shorten show. 24 min. F. S. STUART BARNES- Brought exactly the same material he gave us on his last two visits. 20 min. in one. MELNOTTE-LaNOLE TRIO- Comedy wire act that is quite interesting but nothing extraordinary. Several misses marred the act. 8 min. FS. KINETOGRAPH- "Letters that Speak," "The Rival Brothers," and "Butterly Chasing," This series is not up to the average we have been receiving of late.
