TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH., FEB. 25, 1907.
J. H. Finn.

DELPHINO & delmora.
A comedy musical act that would not do any further down our bill. 11 min. FS.

KNIGHT BROS. & MARION SAWTELLE.
The same set in every way that they gave us before, and while it is fair comedy and singing act, with some dancing, it did not appear to enthuse our usual cold Monday matinee audience. 15 min. in 2.

ITALIAN TRIO.
This is a very good singing act and went fully as it did on its former visit to this house. 12 min. in one.

WILLARD SIMMS & CO.
Simms has combined two acts in one, giving us "Flinders Furnished Flat," which he presented here about five years ago, and also giving us for a finish his monologue or impersonations, whichever you wish to call it, which he gave on his last appearance here. The act is too long and is not the "scream" I expected. 29 min. FS.

JULIA SANDERSON.
Miss Sanderson is very pretty and well gowned but her voice does not carry and she is quite inferior to either Trixie Friganza or Bessie Fynn, and quite superior to Adele Hitchie. 12 min. in one.

CHARLOTTE PARRY & CO.
Miss Perry has a very good protean act, on the cheap melodrama order. She has seven very good and very quick changes, and her support in all that could be desired, but her act is altogether too long and the audience acted tired before the finish. 33 min. FS.

GEORGE EVANS.
This man was the hit of the bill, and while he did not go near as well as he did on his former appearance he succeeded after very hard work in getting two recalls. His material is unchanged, and that is the reason for the apathy of the audience. 26 min. in one.

MAX WESSELEY TROUPE.
This is only a fair juggling act, none of the troupe can juggle more than three articles at once, but their "front" is imposing and they got away with it in pretty good shape. 12 min. FS.

KINETOGRAPH.
"In the Vineyards of France, and manufacturing champagne is a very interesting picture.
