HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J.    JOHN C. PEEBLES.
Week of December 19, 1910.
UPSIDE-DOWN ZERALDAS, Equilibrists. Man and woman.
As good an opening act as we have ever had in the house. Some of their feats are sensational, act is well dressed and the trappings look well. This act will make a great opener in any house. Garden in 3. Time 10 min.
BETH TATE, Singing Comedienne.
This girl has a good personality and has a collection of songs that carry her over in good shape. She sung 4 today with a change for each. Good value for any manager in this spot. Olio in 1. Time 12 min.
GERTIE CARLISLE & JULE BERNARD, "Kids and Kidders."
There is something lacking in this act to make it a success. Miss Carlisle is as dainty a little girl as when she was working with Sager Midgely but she lacks good material in the present vehicle. Act in its present form will not do for the big time. C.D.Fcy in 3. Time 13 min. 3 min. close in 1.
HAL DAVIS & INEZ MACAULEY, "One Christmas Eve."
This is a sketch by Will M. Cressy and is quite amusing, though there are several spots where the action drags a trifle. If these spots can be quickened Davis will have an act that should prove a laughing hit on any bill. Act is well played. C.D.Fcy in 3. Time 18 min.
NAN ENGLETON & JOHN STURGEON in "A Fool's Folly."
This is a costume playlet from the pen of Oliver White. Has a most entertaining story, is finely cast and well mounted and held the very closest attention from the audience. Act ought to be well liked on the big time. Own set in 3. Time 21 min.
LADDIE CLIFF.
Too well known to need description. A big hit and received the biggest reception on his entrance any act has ever got in the house. Street in 1. Time 17 min.
BILLIE BURKE'S WILD WEST.
When this act is working a little smoother it ought to prove one of the big feature acts of the season. The act is handicapped for lack of stage room. Act shows a frontier town withe cowboys, broncho busters, lariat experts, etc., assembled for the frontier day celebration. The set looks well and the various features introduced proved entertaining, especially the lariat work and the sharpshooting, the latter being done by Frank McCrea. Some Indians are to be added to the act tomorrow to lend color. With the outside ballyhoo, the riding of the various members, this act ought to pull business in a normal week. Act is interspersed with some comedy. Own set in 4. Time 20 min.
