Aprašymas

"All ready now! In position, everyone!" Half a score of actors and actresses moved quickly to their appointed places, while overhead, and at the sides of them hissed powerful electric lights, and in front of them stood a moving picture camera, ready to be operated by a pleasant-faced young man. "Ready?" came in questioning tones from Mr. Pertell, the stage director, as he looked sharply from one to the other. A tall, well-built man, with iron-gray hair, nodded, but did not speak. "Let her go, Russ!" Mr. Pertell exclaimed. "Vait! Vait a minute!" called one of the actors, with a pronounced German accent. "Well, what's the matter now, Mr. Switzer?" asked the director, with a touch of impatience. "I haf forgotten der imbortant babers dot I haf to offer mine enemy in dis play. I must have der babers." "Gracious, I should say so!" said the manager. "Where's Pop Snooks?" and he looked around for the property man, who had to produce on short notice anything from a ten-ton safe to a hairpin.
