HUDSON THEATRE UNION HILL N.J. John C.Peebles.
Week of May 16, 1910.

JORDAN TRIO-Novelty Wire Act.
Two girls and a boy from the Flying Jordans in a pretty wire act that opens the show in splendid shape. The girls are pretty and work fast and introduce a lot of difficult stunts. Garden in 3. Time 10 min.

MCBRIDE & GOODRICH, Comedy Singers and Dancers.
This is McBride of Coakley & McBride and his wife. Really an old-fashioned song and dance team that harks back to variety days. They tell all the old gags that have ever been sprung but somehow managed to overlook "Why does the chicken cross the street" and "The Climate,my boy." Act might do for the family department but hardly strong enough for the regular opry houses. Moved up from #3 after matinee. 
Street in 1. Time 18 min.

GERTRUDE VANDYCK, The Girl with the Golden Voice.
A rather novel singing act in 1 that pleased in #2 spot at matinee and went well at night.She makes a good appearance and does 3 songs making changes on stage. Will get over nicely on any bill in an early spot.
Olio drop in 1. Time 10 min.

MADDEN & FITZPATRICK,"The Turn of the Tide."
A most entertaining act that received more applause than any act on the bill.
Fcy in 3. Time 28 min.

5 COLUMBIANS, "The Ballet of the Roses."
This is Caro Miller wife and three daughters in a novel dancing act,beautifully costumed and well staged and will prove a likeable feature on any bill. The [little?] girl in the act was a big hit with her impersonations.
Special set in 3. Time 23 min.
Can do long close in.

LEWIS & GREEN, "Educating a Cook."
A clever two men act,one working from audience and interrupting his partner, the two finishing on the stage. Act a big comedy hit here.
Open in 1,5 min.then to 2,own drop. close in 1,5 min. Time 17 min.

JEWELL'MANIKINS.
Made a most acceptable closing act as nothing of the kind has ever been presented here. Have never seen the act in better shape.
Full stage, 21 min.
