The life Of the screen actor, par
ticuIarly If he should chance to be a
feminine impersonator, is exceed
ingly varied, as Julian Eltinge can
affirm after having enacted the role
of Dick lavish in THE Widows
Might" his third Paramount picture,
which viii be released sometime af-
ter the holidays. -
In the course Of the flm Mr..
| Eltinge learns to care for a baby,
milk cows, scares an elderly aunt
| into presenting him, in female garb,
as q princess travelling incognito
and otherwise COMFORTS himself
\ generally in a manner that would
| scarcely be expected in an enter
| prising young New Yorker.
The rural atmosphere Of a good
| part of. the film Is a novelty in
Eltinge pictures. But 1t L. not long
ere the scene is changed to a fash
lonable resort where the romance
begins that leads to so many COM
plications.
The hero commits the indiscre-
ton Of falling in love with a calen-
dar-or rather the face upon 1t. OF
course he finds out who the model
is and goes in search of her. This
enables him to enter into a series OF
highly amusing situations which
result in the successful elimination
Of his love affair and the expose of
a crook.
Julian Eltihge has won an .enviable
place as a screen star in his Para
mount pictures because the sheer
novelty Of his offerings is in itself
variety Of attraction that could
not be duplicated. There is but one
Julian Eltinge.

Five years ago Charles Ray, who
will be seen at the Garrick today and
tomorrow in ''The Son OF His Faith
err a Paramount production, was a
member OF an unimportant musical
comedy in the far west. Today he is
one Of the recognized stars OF the
cinema world.
His newest photodrama gives to
this young actor splendid opportun-
tiles for effective portrayal Of an
interesting character. He is seen
as the son Of a New York railroad
magnate, who, with five thousand
dollars, sets out to prove TO his
father that he possesses enough in
herent business ability to make a
hundred thousand dollars in six
months. He makes good, defeating
his father in a contest OF business
wits, and finding happiness in the
love of a very charming girl OF the
west. In fact, he proves in every
way he is the son Of his father"
1t is a role very much to Rays
liking, and he brings to II the pleas
ing personality, the boyish enthus-
iasm, and the recognized genius for
screen acting that have made him
favorite everywhere.
