No wonder Actress Didn't Know
Her Lines; the Poor Child Was
In Love With the Author, and
Now They're Married
NEW YORK-Life Is like that
And it's also like this :
Just a month or so ago. a certain
novelty play was announced for
Broadway production. II was titled
"Two's Company" and there were
exactly two people in the COM
pany. Once before u tW0-character
play had been attempted, but de-
spite the reputation Of the leading
players. IL struggled to slow death.
Since that time there has been O
sort Of curiosity about the posi-
bilities OF q two-person drama.
At any rate. a couple OF days be-
fore "Two's Company" was sche-
duled TO open, announcement was
made that It's curtain would not
rise. The play had been called off.
And up and down the big street"
went all sorts OF rumors. IL was
whispered that there had been. heart
interest off stage, and all that sort
OF thing: that there had been jea-
lousies.
Very well-the author or the play
was one John Patten Russell; the
leading woman was Ann Davis and
the producer was to have been one
Howard Schnebbe. Schnebbe post
poned the opening once and then
wrote TO the Actors Equity that he
had thrown up his hands. He just
couldn't get the production under
way. On the night Of the final dress
rehearsal. he reported, Miss Davis
didn't know her lines.
Less than one month after the
play was to have opened. the play

York and took out a wedding Ii
