NEW YORK. March 2S.-Julian
Eltinge has scaled to new heights
with his feminine glory. Accepted by
the rest OF the country. but the en-
dorsement withheld, Eltinge appar.
emily has forced the skeptical to re-
ceive him with more than passing APP
proval in 1.-THE Caroline Girl" The
| wonder of the women in that he is
able to invade their domain In the
graceful and effective wearing Of
beautiful gowns, and amazing the men
through his ability to impersonate the
eternal feminine with such realism
without crossing the line which would
bring disgust rather than amusement,
Eltinge promises to have his longest
New York run in his new play.
1.-THE Caroline Girl" is of course,
built especially for the impersonations
of Eltinge. He first appears in civil
ian dress. and then. as in "The Fas-
cinating Widow" the way is cleared
| for his appearance in the latest gowns
by the placing of wagers as to his
ability to deceive friends dressed as
woman.
To those unfamiliar with the work
of Eltinge there is something even in
his pictures displayed in the entrance
of the Knickerbocker theater that de-
fies fathoming. Entering the theater

By the side of this portrait was an
other just as large. 1t showed Eltinge
in low cut evening gown. huge
wig of auburn hair and dazzling
head-dress
"And, now who is this?" inquired
the wife. "Is this his leading wo-
MANI"
The peace of the family was threat
ened as the husband explained and
the wife was still unconvinced and
contemplated the two pictures for
several minutes before entering the
theater to be convinced.
