80 HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, WEEK NOV. 11, 1912. Jos. R. Smith. FOSTER, LAMONT and FOSTER Two men and a [wo]man in a novelty gymnastic offering in which they perform the usual slack wire, parallel bar and trapeze acts by holding the accessories between their teeth. The act is nicely costumed. Fair opening act. F.S. Time of act 7 Min. BARRIE CLIFFORD An alleged black face comedian who possesses no musical voice, has no fund of jokes and shows no talent for dancing. He went flat with this audience. In one 10 Min. THE SEMINARY GIRLS Five girls in a musical comedy, tabloid form. They have three scenes, with five songs and a change of costume for each song. The girls possess fair voices and do what may be considered some fair dancing, but their costumes are very poor. The act just got by in this spot. Time of act 20 Min. with special scenery. MIDDLETON and SPELLMYER Man, woman and an Indian in a western sketch, "Texas Wooing". Scene shows exterior of western cabin with surrounding mountains and rivers. A cowboy and the Indian are in love with the white girl. She favors the cowboy arousing the Indian until he tries to take the life of the cowboy. His effort fails and he next tries to kill the girl. He fails again and is killed by the cowboy. The piece is on the melodramatic order and has no plot to speak of, its one redeeming feature being a song nicely rendered by the cowboy. Time of act 17 Min. with special scenery, F.S. INTERMISSION CABARET TRIO Two singers and a blind piano player. They render several catchy numbers in a nice manner. The act is neatly dressed and it went good at both performances. In one 17 Min. ED. F. REYNARD The ventriloquist with a production in "A Morning in Hicksville". This talented performer is one of the best in his line that ever appeared at this house. He went very big at both show. F.S. with special scenery 15 Min. JONES and SYLVESTER Present their comedy skit, "The Drummers" introducing several good musical numbers, a line of humorous patter that brought hearty laughs and a few take offs. They are neatly dressed. The act went very big at both performances being the applause hit of the bill. Special drop in one 22 Min. LOUISE STICKNEYS' LITTLE CIRCUS Man and a woman with a trained pony and two trained dogs. Feature of the act is a dance performed by the man while he is on a pair of stilts six or seven feet high. A fair closing act. F.S. 10 Min. PHOTOPLAY Satisfactory.
