Hidden isn't an album in the same sense as others, so the options are different. I would not have imagined that someone would want a slideshow of their hidden pictures, so that may be why that is not an option.
But I have had to hide and un-hide pictures (mostly when talking to people about stuff like this,) and I did this: I selected all my hidden pictures, chose save to Album, made a new album (with the +) and named it "My Hidden." Then I put all the pictures there. It's weird-- the new album will look totally empty, since the pictures are all hidden! But then you go to Hidden, select all, and un-hide them. Then they all disappear from the Hidden album, because they're no longer hidden. But you can now see them in My Hidden, and you can make a slideshow. When you're through, you can select all and mark them hidden, and they will disappear and show up in the Hidden view.
Normally, when you un-hide several pictures, they reappear wherever they came from, scattered all over the place, so it's difficult to find them and hide them, again. But with the above process, they can all be found in one place for re-hiding.
What do you think?
