HIGH CLASS SHOW
ELTINGE REVUE
COMING THURSDAY

Way back when" they used to
have good shows lin person, not a
motion picture" Julian Eltinge
played Broadway and toured the
sticks and gave the boys and girls
an eye full, On him, of all people,
fell the mantle of Lillian Russell
because, apparently, no woman was
woman enough to wear it.
With the return of feminine
charms, sponsored in big way by
Mae West, Eltinge comes back 10
his own in a revue program called
"Fads and FancieS of the Fair Sex"
which will play at Ell Centre Union
high school Thursday night, Oct. S.
If it hadn't been for an incident
of college days Eltinge would pro-
badly be playing big, strong, he
man parts today instead of being
known as the stages greatest fe-
male impersonator. Back in his Haf-
ward career Eltinge was chosen to
play girls part in the college show
and he proved to be so much more
beautiful than most beautiful girls
that he attracted the attention of
a broadway manager. Thereupol he
was made, professionally and his
shows have frightened the great
white way periodically for the last
two decades.
In order to play no more than two
shows a day and to attract the
highest class of patronage, the Ell
tinge revue is playing high schools
rather than theatres.
Of the several supporting artists
in the company, one is a valley resi-
dent, Stanley Bigelow, who will act
as accompanist. Is.
