8 B THE OMAHA SUNDAY HEE: DECEMBER 10, 1017. Julian Eltinge Delights to Shock Visitors Julian Eltinge, cleverest feminine impersonator of stage or screen, has had many amusing experiences, in his travels, both on the stage and since he took up motion' picture work. It is one of the pastimcsf "the Para mount studios, where Mr. Kltingc is now working, to get him started tell ing these. Altogether the star lias furnished much entertainment to the actors and one of the sights of the place is his dressing room. The favorite stunt is to take visitors there without any warning explanation of what they arc going to see. One New Kngland school teacher recently nearly fainted at the sight which was this: On a wax head, such as is used in millinery stores, was carefully placed a very blond flaxen wig, while close beside it lay a pair of pistols and next to them the daintiest of fluffy powder puffs and a couple of huge black cigars. Whether the little school teacher thought that she had discovered the den of Bluebeard the second and his wives was never Itnown, for with eon shrill scream she vaj gone away and far away from the "wicked" studios forever, Mr, El tinge's next feminine srrcen imper sonation, "The (."lever Mrs. Carfax," will be shown at the Straifd theater Wednesday. Mr. Eltinge is more than pleased with his woik in motion pictures so far. lie declares that it opens up many new channels for his character isation and he believes that "The Clever Mrs. Carfax" will be hard to beat.

The young couple's honeymoon was cut short by the receipt of a telegram telling them that they had been cast for the picture and requesting their immediate return. . Miss Hall and Mr. Johnson play the part of lovers, and you can imagine how well these scenes were per formed. Director Wilson found it unnecessary to devote much time to the rehearsal of these scenes, which acted no, they were not acted, they were just naturally done with sweet ness and charm that gave great satis faction to Mrs. Wilson and wc pre sume the ncwlyweds as well. "I must thank my lucky stars," said the director, "for having these ncwlyweds sent to me. They little knew that the sweets of their honey moon trip would save a lot of valu able time in rehearsing at the studios. It meant 52 scenes the first day of the picture, which is quite a record, and without a single retake, cither." The Emory Johnsons had just be gun to revel in the remarkable scenic wonders of the beautiful Yoscmitc valley when the summons to return reached them, but their loyally to the organization with which they have been associated the past few years is so keen that they did not ask even for a day more away fri.m the studios. Former Omaha Actress ! Now Returns in Movies When an announcement is made i that Margarita Fischer is coming in ! a photoplay considerable interest is ! always manifested by Omaha folks, ! not simply because she is popular, j but she made fricds by the score when she played here for two years with the Burwood Stock company. Her career has been most interesting. She was born in Missouri Valley, la., and began her stage career at the age of 8, being lelt an orphan when 14. She was with a stock company in San Francisco for quite a while and later toured in vaudeville with Harry Pollard, who afterward became her husband. Then she was in Omaha, after which she took up motion pic ture acting. She has been with about a dozen concerns and is now the owner of her own company. Manager Goldberg of the Sun j theater says her popularity is best proven by the crowds who attended her last picture, "The Girl Who Couldn't Grow Up," and that record breaking attendance was the rule. Her latest production, "Miss Jackie of the Army,' shows today and Mon day.
