"I wish we could see our play," spoke Alice. "When do you think we
can, Russ?"
"Oh, soon now," he answered, and the girls thought they heard him
laugh. They wondered why.
The first film was shown--a western scene, and the girls were not
much interested in it, except that Ruth remarked:
"The pictures seem much clearer than usual."
"That's on account of my invention," said Russ, proudly. "I'm glad
you noticed it." Then the girls were more interested. A little later,
when the title of the next play was shown, Ruth and Alice could not
repress exclamations of pleased surprise. For it was "A False Count!"
"Why, Russ Dalwood!" whispered Alice. "Did you know this was here?"
"Sure!" he chuckled.
"Oh, that's why you hurried us in without giving us a chance to see
what the bill was," reproached Ruth.
"Yes, I wanted to surprise you."
"Well, you did it all right," remarked Alice.
And then the girls gave themselves up to watching the moving pictures
of themselves on the screen.
It was rather an uncanny experience at first, but they soon became
used to it, and gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the little
play, made doubly delightful from the fact that they had helped to
make it.
