A young (and broke) 21-year old NY stage actor named John Barrymore fell hopelessly in love with Evelyn Nesbit, who was only 17 at the time and Stanford White`s mistress.
She would become pregnant twice by Barrymore and then sent away to a boarding school in Wayne, New Jersey that was run by the mother of Cecil B. DeMille. There she had an abortion (or, possibly, the baby)—under the guise of being treated for "appendicitis. "

I think Evelyn did have a “Jack baby.” My Grandmother was born July 20, 1904 and her ‘adopting’ mother was Evelyn`s midwife. There is considerable evidence (and a DNA test can prove it all easily.) In several books it is postulated that Evelyn got pregnant twice by John Barrymore - the first was likely aborted around 1902-03 and it was unlikely that the second was aborted. I think that is true - she had the baby while claiming to be in an insane asylum around 1903-1904.
