	Julian Eltinge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Julian Eltinge (born May 14, 1881; died March 7, 1941), born William Julian Dalton, was an American stage and screen actor and female impersonator.
		By the time Eltinge arrived in Hollywood, he was considered one of the highest paid actors on the American stage but with the arrival of the Great Depression and the death of vaudeville; Eltinge’s star began to fade.
		The performances in nightclubs continued and while performing in New York in 1941, Eltinge died in his hotel room of what is reported to have been a cerebral hemorrhage, though the circumstances are considered mysterious to some scholars.

	Julian Eltinge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Eltinge performed before a President and royalty, headlined at the Palace, held numerous champagne parties, brawled with thugs, had a theatre christened in his honor, starred in twelve films, made and lost three fortunes, endorsed beauty products for women, and, after his death, faded into obscurity.
		Eltinge's performances were so convincing that one critic even described him as "ambisextrous."While society was loosening the strict Victorian notions of sex and gender toward the beginning of the Twentieth Century, female impersonators were creating campy and exaggerated caricatures of women.
		Eltinge himself only performed at the theatre twice, in productions of the play "Cousin Lucy." Contrary to Martin Grief's statement in his Gay Book of Days, the naval troopship USS Eltinge was not named for Julian Eltinge but for General Leroy Eltinge, a hero of the First World War.

		Julian Eltinge began his career as a female impersonator in boyhood, and made a living at it for a long time.
		Eltinge (who lived with his mother) was often seen engaging in 'manly' activities, such as smoking cigars in saloons.
		Eltinge's neck is short and thick but shows no adam's-apple, and he refrains from giving his female disguise an exaggerated bustline.

	Julian Eltinge Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Eltinge was such a success in his quick change artistry from "THE SIMPSON GIRL", a parody of the GIBSON GIRL, through a series of breathtaking society women to a young schoolgirl that the New York Mirror featured him on their front page.
		Eltinge became a major star of the Cohan and Harris troupe; "the most fascinating woman on the American stage," and his performances invariably brought down the house and had people rolling in the aisles.
		Eltinge's decline is made even more poignant by the general lack of knowledge and appreciation of his dazzling career, and the sacrifices and compromises he probably made in his life to sustain that career.

		Eltinge’s career dissolved into a few nightclub dates that paid him a bare fraction of what he had once earned on Broadway.
		Laws had been enacted that forbid impersonations of women by men, and Eltinge was deprived of the means to earn his living.

		Eltinge had been dubbed by some critics as "the queerest woman in the world" and "ambisextrous".
		Eltinge worked hard to create an image of absolute 'manliness', with public displays of horseback riding, smoking cigars, cursing, endless engagements later broken off, fights in bars (usually 'arranged'), and a bout with 'Gentleman' Jim Corbett that was splashed across newspapers.
		But she is not any the happier for it, especially when Eltinge and her husband then go off together 'to the fights' while she goes home.

	An Eltinge by another name (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Since there was some discussion about Julian Eltinge the other day i thought some of you might be interested in this little squib about the origin of his name from the December 22, 1911 issue of "The Player" the magazine of the White Rats Actors' Union.
		In other cases the change of name is made because the family of the novice abhor the theatrical business, and the aspirant hopes to conceal the dreadful fact that he is attempting to be a thespian by using a new name.
		In other words he took the last name of Charles Eltinge, his friend, and his middle name of Julian, and thus was created the name of Julian Eltinge, a name that has clung to him ever since.

		Later she was with Ezra Kendall in "The Vinegar Buyer." with James K. Hackett, Pauline Frederick and Julian Eltinge.
		Like many stage people, she was prejudiced against motion pictures until she played in Los Angeles with Eltinge and met a number of film people.
		She came to recognize the magnitude of the new industry and, as she had a liking for writing sketches and verse, tried writing scenarios after the Eltinge show closed for the season.

		Indeed, in the United States minstrelsy can properly be regarded as the origin of glamor drag, and a number of prominent female impersonators of the earlier twentieth century--Karyl Norman and Julian Eltinge, for example--began their careers in minstrelsy.

		In 1922, after Virginia Rappe had died and Valentino had become a star, director Fred Balshofer recut his footage and boosted Valentino's part with outtakes.
		The outcome is pretty loopy: Eltinge in drag, a palace revolution, saucy bathing belles, and huge plugs for US intervention in foreign affairs.
		Most of the film's interest comes from its blatant efforts to cash in: a silent conversation between Rappe and Valentino takes on dimensions that Balshofer could never have dreamed of in 1920.
