TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH.
Week Beginning March 2nd.
TOBIN SISTERS: Instrumentalists. The well-gowned, pretty young women who play upon several instruments in a masterly way. I2 minutes full stage.
HARRIGAN: Billed as the "tramp juggler." This perormer is too well known to require any praise or criticism. Is going big in this theater. I2 minutes full stage and 8 minutes in I.
COLEMAN'S DOGS AND CATS: One of the most original and cleverest of the many animal acts in vaudeville. It is causing a cyclone of laughter with the audiences of this house. I5 minutes full stage.
THE BAILEYS: Colored vocalists and dancers. The foremost in their particular class. They can inject life into any bill. Favorite in this city. I2 minutes in I.
JAMES F. DOLAN & IDA LENNARR: Presenting the sketch "Taking Chances." Although these artists have appeared  here in this skit on two or three former occasions they are making an immense hit. 27 minutes full stage.
CARROLL JOHNSON: Black face comedian. This prformer has improved wonderfully since his last engagement here. He is going well. 23 minutes in I.
THE GREAT GOLDIE: Illusionist. He is a hard worker and his act cannot be praised too highly. His big illusions are the best that have ever been presented in this city. There is no doubting the fact that he is one of the very best features in vaudeville. 20 minutes full stage.
LAMAR & GABRIEL: Owing to a combination of obstinacy and booze on the part of Lamar the act was canceled.
ILER, BURKE & McDONALD: Grotesques. One of the trio is exceedingly clever, in fact does all the work that has any merit. The other two are excess baggage. I2 minutes full stage.
