HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J. WEEK FEB. 10, 1913.
Tuesday night's show.
Jos. R. Smith.
CARL AND MAX
Two men, comedy acrobats, with trained dog. The men have some only fair tricks, the dog getting all the applause. The act just got by. In two 7 Min.
MARSHALL AND TRIBBLE
Two men colored comedians, one dressed as a woman. Fair singers and dancers and get their stuff over nicely. Fair number two act. In one 12 Min.
VERA SABINE, assisted by Charles Sabine, presenting the "Green Room at Night". Scene nicely furnished room with cabinet at the center. Over the front of this cabinet is a picture of a woman. A watchman sits nearby and states that he has been engaged to guard the painting, saying it is very valuable. He gets a flask of whiskey, has a little comedy with one of the stage hands, takes a few drags at the flask and goes to sleep to dream that the girl in the picture steps out and begins to dance. The woman performs three dances with a change of costume for each. At the end of the dances she returns to the cabinet, the curtain drops and the watchman wakes up to discover that the picture is still in place and he has only been dreaming. The act just got over. F.S. 14 Min.
VIENA BOLTON, assisted by Charles Everdean, at the piano. The woman sings three characters songs with a change of costume for each, and gets her stuff over in fine shape. The act went big. In one 16 Min.
INTERMISSION
"YE COLONIAL SEPTETTE"
This well known splendid musical act got everything over in very fine shape and went big. F.S. special set 22 Min.
JOSEPHINE BROWN AND COMPANY
Scene reception room in a private sanatarium. Company comprises two men and two women. A noted surgeon is about to operate on a friend who is seriously ill and in danger of dying when he learns through a letter and a telegram that the friend and his wife are in love with each other. The surgeon approaches his wife and although she denies his charges at first, finally she acknowledges they are true. The nurse enters and says the patient is ready for the operation. The surgeon's wife begs him not to perform the operation, but he says no one else can. She is afraid he will kill the young man. Despite her tearful pleadings he enters the operating room and performs on the patient, returning a short time later and tells her it was his most successful operation. He says the patient will be entirely recovered in a few weeks. The wife thanks him and asks his forgiveness. He gives and then announces he will leave for South Africa as he is wanted there and not at home. Miss Brown takes full advantage of the many opportunities offered for emotional work. The piece is interesting from the start and there are many tense situations nicely drawn. The act went very good. C.D.F. 22 Min.
BISON CITY FOUR
This widely known quartette with songs and comedy went big, being the applause hit of the show. Special drop in one 13 Min.
WATSON'S FARMYARD
No comment is needed on this well known act. It went very good. F.S. 17 Min.
PHOTOPLANE
Satisfactory.
