VICTORY BATEMAN WILL SUE.
Wants $4,000 Damages from the
Professional WOmen's League,

Victory Bateman. the actress, will
bring suit against the Professional
Women's League for $4,000 damages
through Lawyer Abe Hummel.
Mrs. Amy Boucicault in her recent suit
for divorce against Aubrey Bouclcault
named Miss Bateman as correspondent.
When this came to the Leagues knowl-
edge some OF the members insisted that
Miss Bateman could no longer remain
4 member with such a charge hanging
over her head. A hurried meeting was
called. n 1t was decided Miss Bateman
must 60.
Several members were appointed to
perform the unpleasant task of telling
Miss Bateman that a resignation might
prevent an expulsion. Miss Bateman re-
signed under protest.
Now Miss Bateman has been exoner-
nted. Evidence at the trial showed
that Mrs. Boucicault's charges were UNI
founded, Judge McAdam going so far
as to insert in the decree a clause ex-
onerating the fair correspondent at the
request of Lawyer Hummel.
Lawyer Humme said: Miss Bateman
is playing now in 'Yon Yonson' In KAN
sas city. She has signed the papers in
her suit. and they are now on their
way East. She Is the daughter of Liz
zie Creese, once a famous actress"
