TEMPLE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH., MARCH 5, 1907.

MINNIE KAUFMANN, formerly principal woman rider of the Kaufmann Troupe, created a great deal of interest in this spot and prepared the audience for an thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. 8 min. FS.

DILLON BROTHERS held down this spot in very good shape. Their parodies are a trifle rough for the matinee audiences in this theater, composed as they are largely of women and children. 18 min. in one.

CHINKO is a young juggler of considerable ability who repeated the big success he made on his initial appearance here. This is a very good act for most any spot on a bill. 10 in. FS.

AUGUSTA CLOSE is a very  pretty, well gowned young woman, who made good with the audience from the very start. She not only has an attractive personality but she is clever and her material is good. 10 in 2.

GEORGE MOZART, the new English comedian, jumped right square into the good graces of the Detroit public. While his material is somewhat after the style of John Birch it is so much better presented that there can be no comparison. 22 min. in one.

JUNIE McCREE & CO., in "The Man From Denver," was one of the great big hits of the bill. Mr. McCrew's dope fiend character is very clever, but I am of the opinion that he could get more out of it. He has abundant opportunities for comedy lines. 28 min. FS.

WELCH, MEALY & MONTROSE gave us practically the same act as heretofore with the exception that he has provided baseball uniforms. It would be well to watch this act closely for Welch is not responsible for what he says. 18 min. in one.

NED WAYBURN'S "FUTURITY WINNER" is just what he has billed it "the biggest set in vaudeville." The piece is happily cast particularly on the part of Kingsley Benedict and Marion Shirley, and the racing feature, with three fine horses on the treadmill, brings the audience to an intense pitch of excitement. 20 min. FS.

THE KINETOGRAPH PICTURES this week are not of extraordinary interest, being of the "fake" variety.

Comment- Our show this week is a corker all the way, the closing act "The Futurity Winner," being the talk of the audiences going out.
