GATTIS, OF IMPERIAL, IS SUCCOR TO BASHTXL. Couple From Clatskanle Don't Quite Know, So Man Behind Desk Does All but Kiss Bride. Along with tli duties of chief clerk, rA. H. Gattis, of the Imperial Hotel, has assumed the more delicate responsfbili . ties of a sentinel for Cupid, promoter of .matrimony ajid coacher of bashful brlde ' grooms. He is a veteran behind the- ho- tel desk, but few knew of his latest tal ent, -which he has kept hidden under a bushel until yesterday afternoon, when i he suddenly came to the rescue of a back ward pair from Clatskanie that came to Portland to be married. Nervously approaching the desk, J. "W. McDonald, with Miss Iottle Anderson on his arm, hesitated at the open register, looked uneasily around the lobby and stared e.t Gattia, while the bride blushed and dropped her eyelashes. "Never mind, old man," smilingly said Gattis. Have you your license yet? Yes? ' Just go ahead and register and I'll" get a witness end act as one myself. And 1 I'll give you the best bridal chamber In the houee." "Thank you. thank you," stammered McDonald. "It's so kind of you. Thank you. very much." "Never mind, never mind, that's all right," assured the clerk. "Got a minis ter?" When the young man shook his head, a clergyman was hastily summoned and In a few minutes the ceremony was per r formed, with Gattis and Phil Metschan, I proprietor of the Imperial, as witnesses. An awkward silence followed the last words of the minister. "McDonald," burst out Gattis, "If you don't kiss her I will." McDonald, however, refused to allow Gattis to assist any farther, for he had grown bold by this time, brushed the ac commodating hotel clerk .aside, gathered up his. bride In his arms and added the finishing touches to the ceremony. BEN GREET TURNED DOWN 3Ilss Izetta Jewel Unable to Accept Castera Offer. The good fairies who seem to drop nice gifts into the lap of Izetta Jewel have been busy this past week. It was almost like a fairy happening last year when the ofTer came from Otis Skinner to Miss Jewel asking her to become his leading woman. And yesterday eame a telegram from Ben Greet in Washington, D. C, asking Miss Jewel to Join his com pany at once to play the leading feminine roles in his Shakespearean productions. When the Otis' Skinner, fairy called Miss Jewel was ready and obeyed and a tour of triumph was hers. When the Ben Greet fairy called yesterday evening it found the talented little actress Just drying the Ink on a contract to go to San Francisco at the end of her engagement here next week to play four weeks. Much to Miss Jewel's regret, she was forced to wire Mr. Greet that she could not go. This Is the second time Ben Greet has endeavored to secure Miss Jewel as his leading woman. Last Win ter while she was playing at the Garrick Theater In New York with Otis Skinner In "Your Humble Servant" Mr. Greet asked Miss Jewel to present a series of Friday matinees in "Everyman" at the Garden Theater, where his company was playing. .
