Show seen matinee and evening by C.L.McNally.

Richards Brothers.
Two men in a comedy ring and bar act. One works as a clown, and the other straight. They do some very hard stunts especially the straight,who also does some strong work,and weight-holding by his teeth.About 7 minutes in full stage. Went fair at matinees and good at night.

Newhoff and Phelps.
Special drop in 1 1/2.Man and woman. Singing and talking skit. Went fair at matinee,but cleaned up at night. A good act. The singing is not especially good,but the act is catchy,and was very well liked. 14 minutes at matinee,and 20 minutes at evening.

Leoni and Dale.
Man and woman. Singing,talking and piano playing. Full stage. 12 minutes. Center door fancy."Snatches from Grand Opera" Singing in Italian and English.Went good. Woman's voice is fair, man's nothing alarming.

Smith and Cook,and Marie Brandon.
Two men and one woman.Woman is a very good toe dancer. Singing, dancing,and nonsense.Man is an exceptionally fine soft-shoe dancer. The make-up of the men are funny.20 minutes. One,and full stage,and one.

Report on acts playing the Scenic Temple,week of October 2,1913? 
Seen by C.L.McNally.

Maybelle Adams and Company.
Comedy skit"Wanda"  2 women,2 men,and a maid(super)  The act is a good comedy skit till the closing minutes,when it closes with a very strong dramatic finish. Miss Adams is a very fine violin player
The act goes very big,and is one of the best acts of its kind that ever played here. 16 minutes in C.D.F., full stage.

Van Cello.
Wonderful foot juggler. Works in one,7 minutes. Was very well received.He also does some good contortion.

The Three Somersets.
2 men,and one woman. Featuring Miss Ray Dooley. Singing,talking, and dancing. The act is a copy on Miss Dooley's former act,but is not as good as it,because there are only three in it whereasthere were formerly eight. They are fairly well received.
