Unsurpassed as a feminine impersonator on the stage, Julian El tinge is now turning his attention to the* screen or 'silent' drama and has already appeared in several Paramount photoplays. The newest of these, "The Widow's Might" will be shown at the Theatre on "The Widow's Might" is the story of a young college man who wins out against the almost overwhelming efforts of some crooks and finally wins back his fortune as well as the girl he loves. "The Widow's Might" was written especially for Mr. Eltinge by Marion Fairfax. It was directed by William C. de Mine. JULIAN ELTINGE' S DEBUT WAS WITH BOSTON CADETS Julian Eltinge, the noted feminine impersonator, who is appearing in the Paramount photoplay, "The Widow's Might" at the Theatre, began his career almost by accident. There was to be a play, given by the Boston i Cadets, an organization of which Mr. Eltinge was at that time a member — and some one was needed in a hurry to play the part of a young woman in i "Miss Simplicity." Eltinge, having as his chief qualification a notably pink and white complexion, essayed the part and made such a success of it that f. he was never again allowed to appear on the stage as anything else but a woman, — and before long became prominent in amateur theatricals and later in the profession. Julian Eltinge, America's popular feminine impersonator, who has tern J; porarily deserted the stage for the screen, will appear at the ; Theatre on in his newest Paramount picture, "The Widow's Might," i; This is a comedy drama, written especially for Julian Eltinge by clever j Marion Fairfax, and allows the noted actor-actress to display his-her powers i of mimicry to the best advantage. : ' i The director, William C. de Mille, chose beautiful Pasadena as the scene of the outdoor bits and some of the views are exceptionally beautiful. The J story was mostly supposed to happen at "Coronalta," a fashionable California resort, and Pasadena furnishes the scenery, the beautiful hotels and smartly ■ gowned guests so necessary for the correct "atmosphere." I Dick Tavish decides to be a rancher, and the fact that he is the rankest New York "tenderfoot" that ever set foot in a prairie, does not deter him in the least. Dick, is no other than Julian Eltinge , the famous feminine im ' I personator, and the way he wins out on the ranch proposition, of course, h j through the disguise of a woman makes an extremely enjoyable picture which will be shown at the Theatre on This is "The Widow's Might. J This was written for him by Marion Fairfax and directed by William C. de Mille. !| Julian Eltinge, the ever-popular Paramount impersonator of feminine roles, will be seen at the Theatre on in his latest photoplay, | "The Widow's Might," a story written especially for him by Marian Fairfax ! and directed by William C. de Mille.
