[Drag Performance – Broadway – Sheet Music – Female Impersonation] [Julian Eltinge] Johnson, Howard; Meyer, George W; et alBiblio.com

Collection of Five Pieces of Sheet Music Composed for Drag Performer Julian Eltinge 1910–1917

1917List3648New York City: Leo. Feist Inc. and others 1917. Five pieces of sheet music see full inventory below. Overall very good plus. Julian Eltinge 1881â€“1941 was the most commercially successful and popular female impersonator of his time. Beginning with drag performances in his adolescence he developed a convincing portrayal of female charactersâ€”shocking audiences at the end of shows by revealing that he was in costumeâ€”and had a successful career on the vaudeville circuit and on Broadway followed by appearances in several silent films and as mores around crossdressing changed in nightclubs. Offered here are five pieces of sheet music written for Eltinge three of which are from the 1910 musical comedy The Fascinating Widow. A New York Times review of the Widow remarks that â€œonce over the initial unpleasantness of the idea of female impersonation which is not easy for people of delicate sensibilities there is nothing especially displeasing about Mr. Eltingeâ€™s efforts at femininityâ€ and notes Eltingeâ€™s popularity and ability to draw crowds.1 Titles Included: â€œIn the Land of Wedding Bells.â€ Howard Johnson and Geo.
