They had little money and few clothes, and no way of displaying their talents but in draughty, barny old houses in small towns, but they began at once making deposits — deposits in the bank of kindness. And one day, to their amazement, they Woke up to cash in on plays, clothes, bookings, songs and fat bank rolls.
