ELTIMGE COSTUMES COST J FORTUNE The costumes worn by Julian El-tinge El-tinge who appears at the Orpheum Sunday, are made ny some of the smartest dressmakers in th world and he has thought nothing of spending four or five thou.:.nd dollars lor an outfit. In make-up he wears a woman's number four shoe and out of makeup he wears a man'3 number seven, which he says has developed the nicest string of corns in the world. He has three dressers who squeeze him into corsets nnd things that at one time threatened to cause a disease of the backbone thit would have proved prov-ed dangerous. These m- n (Japanese) are trained to trjeir work, so that he frequently makes a chaDge of costume in thirty seconds; he appears as a bride and leaves the stage and in less iliiiji one minute io back on the sdage dr'.--iil at a fashionable man. Elline says. "It js very, very hard work but it pays ' and as he wants to buy an attractive set of furniture or so from a "noble but lmpo erished" iamily in Europe who holds it at ten or fifteen thousand dollars, he says he will continue io try and amuse the public for awhile longer.
