He held it reassuringly. "Oh, what shall we do?" murmured Ruth. "There isn't another ship in sight," added Alice, as she looked about the horizon. "We can call one soon enough," said Paul. "They'll start the wireless if they have to." Mr. DeVere came hurrying up, his eyes searching about for his daughters. A look of relief came over his face as he saw them.
DeVere would not hear of acting before the camera, but he soon came to know that greater actors than he had fallen in line with the work, especially since the pay was so large, and finally he consented. An account of his success and of the entrance of his daughters into the field is given in the initial book. Ruth, the elder girl, was, like her father, of a romantic turn.
Baldy led his friends to a secluded place, under the shade of a clump of stunted trees, and then, after carefully looking about, to make sure there were no listening Indians, he said: "Now we'll consider what's best to do!" "Would it be safe to do anything I mean to try to get away by force?" asked Mr. DeVere. "I certainly don't like the idea of being held a prisoner by these Indians."
"And it took him above everyone else to remind them of it," said Mr. DeVere in a low voice. He had remained by the side of his daughters. "Mr. Switzer is a bigger man than any of us thought," murmured Ruth. "Oh, Daddy, is the boat going to sink?" "We are going to be blown up!" exclaimed a big man, who, with others, had made a half start for the boat, and then had hung back shamefacedly.
Dalwood had returned, and found the note her son had left. There was not much information in it Russ had not had time for that and the mystery seemed all the deeper. "I wonder what I had better do?" asked Mr. DeVere of Mrs. Dalwood. "Just don't do anything and don't worry," she advised. "I know your daughters are able to take care of themselves especially Miss Alice."
Theatrical managers were uncertain at best, and an actor in an important part, with a voice that would not carry beyond the first few rows, was out of the question. Mr. DeVere knew this as well as did his daughters. "I'll tell you what I'll do," went on Dr. Rathby. "I'll speak to your manager myself. I'll explain how things are, and say it is imperative that you have one or two days of rest.
"We will go into the open, and live out of doors. We will take along a 'grub wagon, and other wagons for sleeping quarters for the ladies. There will be as many comforts as is possible to take, but I am sure you will all enjoy it so much you will not mind the discomfort. We will sleep out under the stars, and it will do you all good." "I'm sure it's doing me good out here," said Mr. DeVere.
DeVere. He went over the lines of his new part, telling the girls how at certain places he was to "register," or denote, different emotions. "Register" is the word used in moving picture scenarios to indicate the showing of fear, hate, revenge or other emotion.
Really the words need not have been said, and it was this feature of the "movies" that enabled Mr. DeVere to take up the work when he had failed in the "legitimate" because of his throat ailment. "Flee for your lives!" cried Mr. Sneed. "We're going to try to burn it back, or plow a strip that it can't get over." Thereupon ensued a scene of fear and excitement at the slab hut.
DeVere was a clever character actor, and had created a number of parts that had won favor. He inclined to whimsical comedy rôles, rather than to romantic drama, and several of his old men studies are remembered on Broadway to this day. He had acted in Shakespeare, but he had none of that burning desire, with which many actors are credited, to play Hamlet. Mr.
