Miss Nesbit Issues a Denial Evelyn Nesbit yesterday said to Wid's Daily regarding a report that appeared in a vaudeville paper to the effect that she had formed her own company: "There is absolutely no truth in the report. Whatever I do, I will not form my own company. I have had enough experience in pictures now to wait until I receive what I consider the proper offer. At present, an English company wants me to go to the other side to make pictures for them and two American companies have made me offers. I have accepted neither of them as yet." • "The Unpainted Woman" — a bigtime picture of a small town with more real human drama in it than you'll see in a coon's age.
