Rosario Guerrero

at the Temple

“What looks like a vaudeville show of extraordinary merit is the show billed for this week, beginning tomorrow afternoon, at the Temple theater.

The feature attraction of the show is the famous Spanish dancer Rosario Guerrero, who will make her initial bow to Detroit vaudeville lovers. Mlle. Guerrero, although a Spanish beauty, is more identified with the gay capital of France, where for five years she was called the idol of the Follies Bergeres.

This strikingly beautiful woman was brought to this country by Florenz Ziegfeld as a feature attraction of the great romantic opera “Red Feather”, now current at the Lyric theater, New York. As Grace von Studdiford, the prima donna, and Mlle. Guerrero both claimed the center of the stage there was a clash of opinion with the result that the fiery Spanish woman withdrew from the opera and opened up in vaudeville with tremendous success. She will appear at the Temple in the pantomime creation “The Rose and the Dagger”, and will be assisted by Mons. Phillipe Dufaure, a French actor.”
