Some of the scenes were out of doors, in a big flower garden,
and for this the company was taken to Brooklyn, where a private owner
was induced to allow his place to be used for a few minutes. Ruth and
Alice enjoyed their part in the flower garden very much.
Finally the last rehearsal was had, and the day was set for making
the films of the first real, big play in which the two girls had ever
taken part. As they were leaving the studio together, on the
afternoon of the day before the first "performance," they saw a group
of children standing down near the main entrance.
"There go some of the moving picture girls now," one boy exclaimed.
"Don't I wish I was them!" sighed a tall, lanky girl next him. "Ain't
they nice, Jimmie?"
"They sure is!" was the enthusiastic rejoinder.
"We're achieving fame, Ruth," laughed Alice.
"Such as it is--yes," replied her sister. "'Moving picture girls';
eh? Well, I suppose we are."

"Now then, are we all ready?" asked Mr. Pertell. He looked about the
studio, at the groups of actors and actresses, at the camera
men--particularly at Russ.
