Critical Response for Put It In the Scrapbook
Chicago Fringe
The Chicago Tribune noted: " George Contini pulls Eltinge's long-forgotten career from the cobwebs of time to reveal the strange and fascinating life of a man who embraced the cliches and neuroses of both genders; obsessed with the finer qualities of his onstage look (Eltinge published beauty tips and advertised for a corset-maker), he also exhibited an overheated, fist-flying defense of his machismo..... Contini brings an energy to the man's story that I found hard to shake off."

Review in Times Picayune --"Put It In The Scrapbook" is a deeply moving one-man (uh, woman?) show"

Morton Theatre, Athens,GA
Review in The Flagpole--"We witness Eltinge in the mechanical and vulnerable state of preparing for a show…this is precisely what gives (the play) such depth, Eltinge is both unfocused and completely on point. …we see him at his best and his worst. Contini captures the incredulous state of Dalton’s public favor like it’s a broken promise. It takes us on a fascinating, heartbreaking, and heroic journey."
