Miss Dixon, who had come back from her room, after having her ankle
bathed, looked up quickly at these words. She glanced from Alice to
Paul, and back again, and then said something in a low voice to Miss
Pennington.
"May I go, Daddy?" asked Alice. "I'm so interested in these moving
pictures."
"Oh, yes, I think so," he assented. "Perhaps Ruth----"
"No, I'll go home with you," Ruth answered. "I'm a bit tired to-day."
"I'd never tire of this!" exclaimed Alice, with enthusiasm.
"Come along then!" invited Paul. "Here's Miss Fillmore now," he
added, as another member of the company entered.
There was a sudden cry of pain from the other side of the studio, and
a moving picture camera ceased clicking.
"What's the matter now?" asked the manager, as he looked to where the
safe robbery scene was being filmed.
"Oh, I caught my hand in the safe door!" exclaimed Pepper Sneed.
"Nearly took my finger off! I just knew something would happen to me
to-day!"
"Great Scott! Another scene spoiled!" groaned Mr. Pertell. "Well, do
it over. Had you run out much film?" he asked the operator.
