"He shall play with this first, sing to it and give names to the notes," said Redwood, "and afterwards ?"
Lumberton's advertising space was plastered with the Briarwood Girl and with other billing weeks before the film could be seen. As every moving picture theatre in the place clamored for the film, Mr. Hammond had refused to book it with any.
She made a little grimace at him. "A very polite young gentleman at the box office sent us each a bunch directly we started work yesterday. I've only had a few words with him yet, but Eva that's the other girl she's plagued to death with fellows already, so I'm going to take him out one evening." Philip stopped short. They were approaching the theatre. "Not a step further," he declared solemnly.
Then suddenly the house lights sank and the footlights rose. From all over the theatre came energetic whispers of "Sh! Sh!"
