HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J. Week of March 21, 1910. John C. Peebles.

1-TENNIS DUO, Novelty Juggling Act.
Two girls in a rather pretty opening act with special set. Manipulate tennis racquets, clubs and batons. Girls look nice from front and work fast and act is most acceptable in this spot.
Special set in 3. Time 9 min.

2-BRADY & MAHONEY, "The Hebrew Fireman and the Foreman."
A singing and talking act that went very well with our audience today despite the fact that Hebrew impersonators are not particularly popular over here. They have a good line of talk and their songs and parodies got over in good shape.
Special drop in 1, Time 14 min.

3-LITTLE FLORENCE MASCOTTE, Child Impersonator.
A resident here and received a good advance hand on her entrance. Her work is away from the usual child act and she gets her stuff over the footlights in good shape. She sings four songs and makes a change of costume for each. Also introduces a few minutes of monologue that gets many laughs. This is a good act for any manager who can play children without police interference.
Olio drop in 1, Time 18 min.

4-JOE MAXWELL & CO., "A Night in a Police Station."
The same act that Maxwell has been playing for the past three season but with practically a new cast and, incidentally, the best I have seen in the act. The girls are alnico looking and have good voices and the men are acceptable both as to looks and voices. Maxwell gets a couple of good songs over. For a first performance today's was quite smooth and act will improve as week progresses.
11 people, special set, 27 min; 5 min. close in 1.

5-"SNOWED IN."
Another English comedy produced by Fred Ginnett and Wal Pink. Idea is funny and keeps the audience laughing all the way through but finish could be greatly improved. With a proper finish this act will get by in good shape.
C.D.Foy in 3. Time 27 min.

6-BOWMAN BROS, "The Blue-Grass Boys."
A capital blackface act that is clean and is a good applause winner and an act that will get over on any bill. Took several bows this afternoon and then had to make a speech.
Street in 1, Time 18 min.

7-RICE, SULLY & SCOTT, Comedy Bar Act.
In grotesque makeup these three men put over the laughing and applause hit of the bill and closed the show in ratting good shape. They must have made a close study of the Three Ernests for there is nothing they have overlooked.
Wood in 4, Time 8 min.
