I just love the
work; don't you, Ruth?"
"Indeed I do; but twice lately, danger has come to you."
"Well, I'll have one more near-accident and then the 'hoodoo' will be
broken, as Mr. Sneed would say. Three times and out, you know the old
saying has it."
"Oh, Alice!" cried Ruth. "Do be sensible!"
"Can't, dear! I leave that to you. But, Daddy, you mustn't think of
taking us out of moving pictures. Why, some of the best and most
important of all the farm dramas are to come yet. There's the one
with the burning barn--I wouldn't miss that for anything! Please,
Daddy, let us stay. You want to; don't you, Ruth?"
"Oh, yes, of course. Only there seems to be so many dangers about a
farm. I used to think a country life was calm and peaceful, but
things happen here just as in a city."
"Indeed they do," laughed Alice, "only such different things. It's
quite exciting, I think. Mayn't we stay, Daddy?"
"Oh, I suppose so," he consented, rather grudgingly. "But take no
more chances."
"Oh, I didn't take the chances," laughed Alice. "The chances took
me."
During the next few days several farm scenes were filmed by Russ, and
a number of partly finished plays were completed, the reels being
sent to New York for development. Word came back that everything was
a success, only a few minor errors being made, and these were easily
corrected.
