THE LANGDONS
"A Night on the Boulevard." Act carries a very pretty stage setting and with the aid of clever bits of pantomime offers an entirely novel and very entertaining number.
CHRETIENNI & M LOUISETTE
This is a foreign singing novelty. Opens with moving pictures showing the travels of two peasants from Holland to America ending with the man and woman making their way to the stage through the auditorium of the theatre. Afterwards she sings in French, Spanish and Italian while the man conducts the orchestra and both finish with a ragtime medley. The woman makes a change for each number, wearing very handsome costumes. 21 min. F. S.
THREE LEIGHTONS
Three men, one straight and two in comedy makeup. They handle some snappy dialogue, use a couple of catchy singing numbers and finish with some clever dancing. 20 min in one.
BLOSSOM SEELEY
Sang five songs, all of them of the ragtime sort. Wore only one costume but a very effective one. Raymond Walker at the piano. 12 min in one.
"THE BRIDE SHOP"
A typical Rolfe act - production and everything that goes with it being up to the highest mark. In the principal comedy role, Andrew Tombes proved himself a comedian of excellent merit keeping the laughs going all through the piece and putting one great big comedy bit over near the finish. The principal female roles are all well filled especially that taken by Lola Wentworth. All the music is bright and catchy and the display of costumes is one that will make any audience take notice.

Temple, Detroit.
NOVELTY CLINTONS
A good exhibition of jumping. Palace full stage, 10 min.
BOOTHBY & EVERDEAN
Singing, talking and whistling. Man at the piano. 14 min in One.
FARRELL-TAYLOR TRIO

Presenting his new act "The Singing Teacher," with a cast of four people besides Lind and his wife. On account of the comedy in the act it is about the best thing Lind has ever given us. Interior in 3, 30 min.
JARROW
Presenting the same act he has given us several times. 20 min in One.
CONSUL & LADY BETTY
Consul is sick this week and not working as he should. Full stage, 25 min.
