HUDSON THEATRE, UNION HILL, N.J. WEEK, FEB. 3, 1913.
Tuesday night's show.
Jos. B. Smith.
TWO GEOEGES
Acrobatic comiques with a number of unusually clever tricks. A very good opening act. In two 7 Min.
BANDY AND FIELDS
Man and a woman, neatly dressed, singers and dancers. The man gives dancing imitations of various kinds of walks. The woman gives one dancing specialty that is good. The act went very fair. In one 15 Min.
CATHERINE NELSON
Sin[g]ing comedienne. She renders several catchy songs in a pleasing manner although she possesses only a fair voice. She is nicely costumed. The act went very fair. In one 12 Min.
"THE TRIANGLE", introducing Thomas [De Grose?] and Gertrude Dallas, of our summer stock company. Two men and a woman. Scene interior of a western rancher's cabin. The rancher has left his daughter alone. Enter a cowboy who once saved the rancher's life, and who is engaged to the girl. He seeks a hiding place having just committed a murder. Shortly after he goes into an adjoining room to rest for a time a mounted policeman, who also loves the girl, and is loved by him, enters. He says he is looking for the cowboy. He does not know the fugitive is hiding in the next room. He engages in a talk with the girl about his plans for quitting the service and getting married. She offers him some lunch. There is quite a little comedy brought in here as he tries to set the table and smashes a few dishes. also destroys a pie and burns his hand and her's. When the conversation is over and he is about to leave he discovers a blood stained hat on the rack. He demands to know the owner's name. She refuses to tell. He accuses her of detaining him while the fugitive could escape. He is denouncing her when the cowboy enters and covers the officer with his gun. He then explains the situation, saying the girl shielded him because her father promised him her hand when his life was saved. He offers to give himself up that the girl may be happy. The officer shakes his hand and offers him help that he may square himself before the world. He says he killed his man because he had said insulting things about the girl and the policeman. There is sufficient action, enough comedy and interest throughout. The act went big. Time of act 18 Min.
INTERMISSION
JASPER
Presented by Dixie Taylor. This is an unusually well trained dog that acts and performs his tricks at orders from the audience as well as his master. Among some of his tricks are, turning on and off an electric light, playing a typewriter, a piano, finding persons and delivering messages. He also leaves the stage and goes up into the balcony where he barks at his master's call. He also does a turkey trot. The act went good. F.S. 8 Min. 6 Min. in one. time of act 14 Min.
CLEM BEVINS AND COMPANY in "Wappinger's Falls". Two men and a woman. Scene exterior of a country general store. The plot is wound about the return of a daughter to her aged father after an absence of five years. She also meets again her husband from whom she ran away. They all make up and decide to live together. The sketch furnishes Bevins with many chances to display some quaint humor, and there is just a touch of pathos. The act went very good. F.S. special drop 24 Min.
LEO CARRILLO
This well known comedian with his aviation talk imitations and stories went very big. In one 18 Min.
"THE EARL AND THE GIRLS"
Seven girls and four men. this well known musical comedietta held the stage for 28 Min. and left them wanting more.
PHOTOPLANE
Satisfactory.
