Veta Searl — A Tiny New Star (1917) 🇺🇸

Veta Searl, who until quite recently had adorned neither stage nor screen, “dissolves in” upon the magic curtain of Shadowland

by Hector Ames

Veta Searl found an opportunity and grasped it. But first, opportunity found her in the form of a producer-manager, who is by way of being a Columbus of the movies, when it comes to discovering embryo talent. He believes that the intangible something called personality, intelligence and an inherent sense of the fitness of things are the qualities that make for prompt and lasting screen success.

These Miss Searl possesses in abundance, so she has been engaged to appear in Charity, the first of the Frank Powell productions.

She is of the popular type — small, piquant and alert, and is shaping her charms to win friends and success in the magic picture world she has so recently entered.
