Overview

In the beginning he was Christopher Bellew. By the time he was at college he had become Chris Bellew. Later, in the Bohemian crowd of San Francisco, he was called Kit Bellew. And in the end he was known by no other name than Smoke Bellew. And this history of the evolution of his name is the history of his evolution. Nor would it have happened had he not had a fond mother and an iron uncle, and had he not received a letter from Gillet Bellamy. "I have just seen a copy of the Billow," Gillet wrote from Paris. "Of course OHara will succeed with it. But hes missing some plays." (Here followed details in the improvement of the budding society weekly.) "Go down and see him. Let him think theyre your own suggestions. Dont let him know theyre from me. If he does, hell make me Paris correspon-dent, which I cant afford, because Im getting real money for my stuff from the big magazines. Above all, dont forget to make him fire that dub whos doing the musical and art criticism. Another thing, San Francisco has always had a literature of her own. But she hasnt any now. Tell him to kick around and get some gink to turn out a live serial, and to put into it the real romance and glamour and colour of San Francisco."
