IT was only last May That Otis skinner
discovered Miss Jewell in Portland.
He was on his way through Oregon
with his company and she was playing
at the Bungalow in Portland. He saw
her act and asked for few minutes

But it was only two days later that
he wired her. meet him in New York

That's just like him." said Miss
Jewell, watching him go. Hes the
most generous star on the stage. He
gives US all the chance in the world
and lends me every assistance in sug-
gestion and advice that a newly made
leading woman in a New York COM
pany could ask for.
But while on the subject of Miss
JewelTs birthplace let us clear up some
other queries 1 had to ask.
IF 1 made mistake in my place of
birth. at least give me credit for one
thing she said. i might have been
born a boy and in that case my name
would have been Cornelius
That was Miss JeweH's first evidence

she begged.

York dramatic critics said some mean
things about my name. Izetta Jewell.
and made puns about it and asked Is
itg 1t hurt me very much. for the
name is my own-and think what it
might have been-Cornelius!
Another critic asserted that could
never reach starship with such name
as Izetta; that it would end by making
a chorus girl of me. Do you think
that's true? I'd hate to change my
name now-you know what 1 mean
she rebuked-"my stage name. of
