is up to date in every particular and in its
words and actions is bright vivacious and

brightest successes OF the kind now before the
public. The opening act of Hendrick Hud-
son Jr.. occurs in New York city, in its infancy
showing the famous Bowling Green in 1909.
The usual amount Of bright witty dialogue
and fun incidents are introduced in this act,

OF fair Hendrick, is angered because he has
gone to Florida, and has him followed by
detectives. Hudson DISCUSSES himself as a

several very clever comedians. The music is
sparkling and attractive it bubbles forth con-
stantly in solos, duets, sextets, topical song.

course, the particular star.
