This is the best dog act that has ever played this house, as the dogs display a great deal of intelligence and the material is well chosen. 
Went good at matinee and night shows.

Report on acts playing The Scenic Temple, week of Feb. 5, 1914.

1. George and Lillie Garden.
Man and woman.

The Tropical Trio.
Three men.
One works as a hunter, one as a monkey, and the other doubles as a lion and as a monkey. The act, which runs about 13 minutes in their own setting in the full stage, is composed of comedy by the man, acrobatics and rope-climbing, etc. by the "monkeys"
The men who are in the monkeys are very clever, and they climb ropes, much as monkeys do.
This act contains good laughs, and it went fair at the matinee, and good at the evening performance.
