HUDSON THEATRE  UNION HILL, N.J.  John C. Peebles. 
Week of March 28, 1910.

1-HEARN & RUTTER, Dancing act.
Two neat appearing boys in a lively dancing number that will get by nicely anywhere. Opened the show in good shape. Olio drop in 1. 11 min.

2-LENA PANTZER, Novelty Wire Act.
Miss Pantzer has a novel and pleasing act, dressing well and introducing some fast work on the bounding rope. She has a male assistant who does some good tumbling. Their whirlwind dance at the close receives hearty applause. A good opening act for the big time. Garden in 3. Time 9 min.

3-STOKES & YOUNG, The Boy, the Girl and the Piano. 
The applause hit of the bill and an act that will make good anywhere. Stokes is a nice appearing young chap and gets his songs over in good shape while Miss Young is very pretty and has an excellent singing voice. This act will run Wright and Deitrich a close record for honors among acts in 1. Olio in 1. Time 16 min.

4-ELLIS-NOWLAN CO., "Fun in a Fire House."
This act closes the first half with a riot of laughter. The act is in 3 scenes and is a conglomoration of the crasiest lotn of acrobatics  I have ever seen. We have had a good many rough comedy acts this season that have made our audiences laugh but this one makes them yell. It is a little crude as yet and will require a little more working out before it is in shape for the big time. There are 12 acrobats in the act and they work very rapidly. Special set in 3. Time 8 min.

5-HAL REID & CO., "The Girl and the Ranger." A rather pretty Western sketch with a melodramatic flavor. The act went very well with our audiences today and took several curtain calls at the finish. I consider this an excellent act for the smaller time and it could get by nicely in an early spot in a big show. Special set in 3. Time 22 min.

6-BEN SMITH,"The Man with the Grip."  Formerly one of the team of Smith and Heagney. He has a good line of talk, some of it a little old, but he gets it over in good shape. The real merit of the act lies in his singing and his several selections were heartily received.

7-"THE FUTURITY WINNER." One great big hit in the closing position. Own set in 4. Time 16 min.
