The second volume was entitled "The Moving Picture Girls at Oak Farm; Or, Queer Happenings While Taking Rural Plays." The manager had made the acquaintance of Sandy Apgar in New York. Sandy managed his father's farm, in New Jersey, and Mr. Pertell took his entire company there, to make a series of farm dramas.
Apgar, an Armenian opium merchant, who nominated Great Scott, an Austrian thoroughbred, has a breeding farm and stable of 200 horses, and everything about his place comes from the United States.
Apgar, that the hen laid her eggs right where I was to make my landing when escaping from the Confederates?" "Huh! More than one hen laid her eggs there, I reckon," the farmer said. "There must have been half a dozen of 'em who had rooms in that apartment. You see, it's this way. Hens love to steal away and lay their eggs in secret places.
I've lived there all my twenty-two years never knew any other place." "Do you live there all alone?" asked Ruth, for the young farmer had been introduced to the members of the company. "No, my father and mother are there with me. Father is Mr. Felix Apgar maybe you've heard of him?" the young man asked the manager, innocently. "No, I don't think so," and Mr.
While they were working on one piece, Sandy Apgar came along on his way to look after some of the farming operations. "Hello!" he cried. "Say! you fellows did that mighty quick." "Did what?" asked Alice, who stood near, not being engaged for the time being. "Why, dug that well.
It was a long and rather tedious ride to Oak Farm, which lay some miles back in the hills from the railroad station, and it was late afternoon when the company of moving picture actors and actresses arrived, to be greeted by Sandy Apgar and his father and his mother. "Well, I am glad to see you all again!" cried Sandy, shaking hands with Mr. DeVere, the girls and the others.
This was filmed separately, while other camera men, in the made street, took pictures of the activities there. Men, women and children went in and out of the houses. Though, as Mr. Belix Apgar said, "If you call them houses you might as well call the smell of an onion a dinner. There ain't nothin' to 'em!"
"Do bring her!" urged Alice. "We'll try to make her comfortable. And don't fear what they will do," and she nodded toward the two other actresses, who had been in vaudeville before going into motion pictures. So it was that, later in the evening, Miss Brown brought her trunk to the Apgar farmhouse and was installed in a room near Alice and Ruth.
The lesson had been noted "Satisfactory" and Captain Clark had good reason to be proud of her True Treds. The words of Frank Apgar still rang in the frightened ears of Tessie, when she stole away from the Osborne place, so very early the following morning. Now her continued failures were assuming discouraging proportions indeed, and she knew the result of "borrowing" that ticket money.
I might add that, incidentally, the girls helped to solve a strange mystery concerning Oak Farm, and solved it in a way that made glad the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Apgar, the parents of Sandy, and of the heart of Sandy himself. Mr. Frank Pertell was the manager of the Comet Film Company, with whom Mr.
