The old act is very much revised. Eltinge opens with the “Sampson Girl” number, dressed in a Gibson Girl creation of severely simple black velvet. From that he goes to a school girl make-up and dressing and closes with “Willie Green” in “kid” clothes.
The audience was completely deceived as to Eltinge's sex until he removed his wig after the second song.
Eltinge will be liked. He is artistic in everything he does and his act is far and away above what is described as female impersonation. He should have desirable lime on the important circuits.
