Emma Nevada Not Yet Sued for Libel.
New YORK, November 5th.-A report
has been extensively circulated in theatri-
cal circles here that Frederick Schwab. the
dramatic critic, had brought suit against
Emma Nevada for libel. Your correspond
ent saw Clark Bell Neyadas counsel. this
morning. He said "Schwab has brought
no suit against Nevada yet. l don't think
he will bring any, though he has been
threatening to do so for some time. This
entire trouble grew out of newspaper mis-
representation. Nevada never spoke to
Schwab in her life, yet the newspapers re-
ported that she accused Schwab of agreeing
to write her up if she paid him for it. Now
Schwab is unpopular among newspaper
men. They have guyed him about this
matter ever since it first appeared in print,
and he is naturally sensitive about it: but
he won't bring any suit If he does. he
gets into trouble. Nevada arrives here
this afternoon from Philadelphia, and
sings here tonight" Is she worried
about this, was asked. Bless you. no:
there's nothing to worry about" was the
reply.
