I have scanned several old Newspaper pages and clippings that Irene kept. This is one of the earliest ones. Though there’s no photo of Irene on the page, the author – (Ogden, I believe) – mentions Irene as “one of the new girls” on the scene and a “potential Gloria Swanson”. He goes on to say how Irene cares for her two brothers (my grandfather and grand-uncle) and that she won a Los Angeles Beauty Contest a couple of years prior to her start as an actress. I do not know the date of this article unfortunately, but I’m guessing it was around 1920.
