HOTEL CLERK AIDS CUPID
A. H. 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. .
