SUGGESTED LETTER
(TO BE SENT 3 DAYS BEFORE SHOWING)
Dear Madam : ’’
We all know there is nothing the ladies enjoy more than to see handsome gowns well displayed, and I think you who have seen' Julian Eltinge will agree with me that no woman has ever looked more charming in smart clothes than has this famous female impersonator. In his latest picture “THE WIDOW’S MIGHT,” Mr. Eltinge wears some stunners.
You may be interested to know how Mr. Eltinge first entered this line of work. While very young his parents moved from Montana to Boston, and at the early age of 14 he was forced to go to work, and entered a Boston wholesale house.
He joined the Boston Cadets, an organization which numbered many Harvard boys amongst their members. This organization was in the habit of giving amateur theatricals, and someone was needed to play the part of "a young woman called “Miss Simplicity.” Because of his pink and white complexion the part was allotted to' Mr. Eltinge, and he made such a success of it that he never was allowed to play any but female parts thereafter.
Shortly after he jumped into fame and received as high as $1,500 a week in vaudeville. After appearing in many productions on Broadway, Mr. Eltinge succumbed to the lure of the screen — to release his pictures, of course, through Paramount.'
We shall look forward to seeing you at the will bring a large party with you.
Theatre on and hope you
Yours sincerely.
Manager.
