HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J.    JOHN C. PEEBLES.
Week of September 11, 1911.
FANNY FONDELIER  Novelty Wire Act.
Was a trifle disappointed in this act as I got Fanny confused with Ella Fondelier who does a much better act. However, the act got by in this position nicely though I think her violin solos while balancing on the wire are a trifle too long drawn out. Landscape in 3. Time 8 min.
THE METROPOLITAN MINSTRELS.
This is a genuine novelty and should prove a sure fire hit on any program. The company consists of two young boys and five young girls and they have a novel program of songs and dances. A little comedy is introduced and the interest in the act is held up all through. No manager can go wrong in playing this act. Open in 2, 11 min, then to 1, 5 min, then to 3, 4 min. Time 20 min.
LILLIAN ASHLEY  Singing Comedienne.
Makes a good appearance, has a pleasing line of talk and her songs entertain. With a cold audience this afternoon she went over exceptionally well. Olio in 1. Time 14 min.
"THE STICK-UP MAN"
This is a new heart interest sketch written by Homer Miles and presented by a company of four with a special setting. The act is an interesting one with a little pathos and comedy nicely intermingled, is well staged and capably played. It held the close attention of the audience today, received applause at several points in the act and closed to a hearty round of applause. Took four curtain calls. I believe this act will make good on any bill where clean sketches are appreciated. Own set in 3. Time 18 min.
FANNY RICE  The Miniature Mimic Stage.
This clever woman certainly put over one of the biggest hits of today's show. Act is too well known to need description or praise. Olio in 1. Time 18 min.
GEO. AUGER & CO., "Jack the Giant Killer."
The same old sketch, played by the tallest man in vaudeville and his three associates. Act was a novelty here and pleased. Great for the "kid." Parlor in 4. Time 18 min.
FELIX ADLER  The Plain Clothes Man.
All his material landed and he walked away with the applause honors. Street in 1. Time 16 min.
ROSAIRE & DORETTO "Two Jolly Tars."
A rough knockabout acrobatic act which closed the show in good shape. Own drop in 4. Time 8 min.
TIM CRONIN is to appear here the last three days of the week in his new material. At the rehearsal this morning he told me it was the best material he had ever had. Managers will have the opportunity of judging for themselves on and after Thursday.
