Veronica
Author(s):
John White
As outlined by the NY Journal-American, "...has to do with the problems of two Tin Pan Alley types, Lou Long and Leo Lane who have been writing songs for 17 years, but whose inspiration has run dry. Lou, the lyric writer, has married an intellectual girl who thinks the stuff they write is drivel and we're afraid she's right. They haven't had a hit since the marriage and are trying to get back into the groove that enabled them to produce their biggest hit, 'Veronica,' a cornball if ever there was one. They are ensconced in an apartment in an upper-Broadway hotel and have only $7,000 left in the bank after all their good years. Sharing the suite are a song plugger and a scantily clad, leggy blonde who is their 'inspiration.' She is an ex-cocktail waitress who is studying French on the side to improve herself. When all seems lost and Lou is left alone brooding about 'the bomb' which he claims is the cause of his loss of ideas, an engaging robber breaks into the place and encourages him to get down to work again. When the others return they manage to complete something like 'On an Island with a girl like you,' which fortunately lends itself to rock 'n' roll, and the burglar and the inspiration are doing the twist to it by the end."
