Ahoy!" sang out Jack, as he and Russ sent the boat over the waves to the rescue. "Ahoy! We'll have you safe in a minute!" "Quick! Get that picture! Film it!" cried Mr. Pertell to one of the other camera men. "I can work that scene in somehow." There was very little that was not "grist" which came to the "mill" of Mr. Pertell's cameras.
"No, but if we do go there won't be any trouble about that International company trying to steal Mr. Pertell's secrets." "I don't know about that," observed Mr. DeVere, slowly. "If they are after his big drama they may even follow us out West." "Oh, I hope not!" exclaimed Ruth, pausing with extended needle. "I don't like trouble." "There may be no trouble," her father assured her, with a smile.
"No, indeed, I'm too tired," she answered, with a laugh. "Oh, but to think of going West! I've always wanted to!" "Alice always says that, whenever a new location is decided on," observed Ruth, with a quiet smile. The work of the day was over, and most of the players had gone home. Ruth and Alice were waiting for their father, who was in Mr. Pertell's office.
And then, after no very gentle treatment, the Rocky Ranch cowboys ran out of the country the men who had been trying to take advantage of Mr. Pertell's work for the benefit of the International company. "That's the way!" "Run 'em out!" "Give 'em some more!" To these startling shouts were Wilson's men driven away, and glad enough they were to go.
They make the inside scenes here anything from the interior of a miner's shack to a ballroom in a king's palace. Of course, for outside scenes they go wherever the scenery best suits the story of the play. And here the film negatives are developed, and duplicate positives made for the projecting machines. This is Mr. Pertell's principal factory." "Fancy a play-factory!" exclaimed Alice.
I wish you would tell me about some of your voyages, for I'm sure you must have been on many." "That I have, Miss, but this is th' queerest cruise I ever started on," and he looked around at the many scenes being enacted. Meanwhile Ruth had slipped to Mr. Pertell's side. "Give me a brief outline of the play," she suggested. "I think I can make it plain to him.
Pertell's company, with whom they were acquainted, they did not want the hundreds of extra men, soldiers, cowboys and horsewomen running all over the place. So the rule had been adopted, and it was observed good-naturedly by those to whom it applied. Whitlow must have considered himself above it. "Did he annoy you much, Alice?" asked Paul. "Not so very. He was just what you might call fresh.
Then the talk turned to moving picture work, though Ruth could not help wondering, even in the midst of it, why Miss Brown had not been more certain of where she had learned to ride. "It isn't something one would forget," mused Ruth. Rehearsals, the filming of scenes, retakes and the studying of their parts kept busy not only the moving picture girls, but all the members of Mr. Pertell's company.
