FILMS AS A CURE.
Many successful film stars have used diverse reasons for explaining their venture into screen work, but that of Veronica Rose, a talented young Scotch society girl, who appears in British pictures, is unique: she took up film work to cure her shyness. She had been living in England for so long that her Scotch accent had to be relearned for her part in "Second- Best Bed," in which Tom Walls and Jane Baxter were starred.'. It was during her. first society season that the young and charming lady was so overcome with shyness that she took a course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art; when her family became impoverished, she took up stage work professionally, and was discovered by Mr. Walls when acting as a film extra. She hds since played important roles in many of the pictures made by the veteran actor.
