HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J.
Week of May 9, 1910.
John C. Peebles.
ZARA CARMEN TRIO, Baton Jugglers. 3 people. An excellent opening act for any bill. People work fast and make neat appearance. Use special black velvet cyclorama drop. Full stage 10 min.
ODELL & KINLEY, Acrobatic Dancers. Man and woman. A very good act in this spot on any bill. Man works in clown makeup and they have a very interesting routine, closing with an acrobatic waltz. Own drop in 1. time 9 min.
WELCH, FRANCIS & CO., "The Flip Mr. Flop." Comedy sketch, 5 people. Not much of a plot but keeps audience laughing. This is the second visit here and the act went very strong at both shows. The work on the bass drum by Kittie Francies is a big scream. C.D.Fcy in 3. Close in 1, 5 min; Entire running time 20 min
JOSEPH HART'S BATHING GIRLS.
This is one of the best girl acts we have played this season and created more enthusiasm than any ensemble act we have presented. Certainly the act possesses novelty and is by far Hart's best effort. Full stage, special set Time 19 min.
YUILL AND BOYD, "Wanted a Minister." A comedy sketch by Victor H. Smalley. Not as good comedy as Baseballitis and really belongs earlier in the bill. Idea rather improbable but there are some good comedy situations that bring laughs. Finish quiet but pleasing and act took three curtain calls. A couple of specialties are introduced during the action of the sketch. Miss Yuill is charming in her character but Mr. Boyd is a better acrobatic dancer than he is an actor and there is lots of room for improvement in the acting line. C.D.Fcy in 3. Time 20 min.
ANDERSON AND GOINES. Colored Comedians. These two boys certainly cleaned up in great shape today and were the hit of the bill. Their new finish took them off the long continued applause and Goines was forced to make a speech even after the cards for the following act had been displayed. Olio in 1. Time 18 min.
CAMILLE TRIO, Comedy Acrobats. A rough comedy bar act that was a scream from start to finish. Garden in 3. Time 6 min.
NOTE: On Thursday afternoon Anderson and Goines will offer a new act to be known as Anderson, Goines & Anderson, the latter's wife joining the act.
