There is ever a song somewhere my dear. Two Gentlemen and Verona The Red Barn Players needed money desperately to continue their summer ' s program. Their best op- portunity to acquire money lay in wealthy Neila Lansing, who insisted on the leads in the plays in ex- change for the use of her money. Verona Wood was the favorite of the rest of the players and the ob- vious one to have the leads. When Milton J. Sweezy, a talent scout, came to their theatre, Neila naturally insisted on the lead, and Verona became her under-study. Bill Kennedy, in love with Verona, wanted her to have her chance; so on the night of the production, he lured Neila away until the play was over. Verona played the lead. However, Mr. Sweezy did not like Verona ' s acting and chose only Sarah Brown to go to Hollywood. This made Bill happy, since he would not marry an actress; and Verona decided being Bill ' s wife would be more exciting than being a third-rate actress.
