Won't that be splendid?"
"Of course it will. But I liked this one very much. I wish I could
see the real pictures."
"You can!" exclaimed a voice back of the girls, and, turning they saw
Russ. "I'll take you to see them when the positives are made," he
said.
"Oh, but I mean in a regular moving picture theater," went on Alice.
"I'd like to see how the public takes us."
"I'll do that, too," agreed Russ. "As soon as the pictures are
released we'll find some place where they are being shown, and you
can watch yourself doing your act."
"That will be fine!" cried Ruth.
"What does 'released' mean?" asked Alice.
"Well, you know the moving picture business is something like the
Associated Press," explained Russ. "The Associated Press is an
organization for getting news. Often news has to be gotten in
advance--say a thing like the President's message, or a speech by a
big man.
"The Associated Press gets a copy in advance, and sends duplicates of
it out to the newspapers that take its service. And on each duplicate
copy is stamped a notice that it is to be released for publication
on a certain day--or at even a certain hour.
