This is a fact. As the scenes in the studio are taken in the glare of a special kind of electric light, all white objects, even the collars and cuffs of the men, are yellow in tone, though in the picture they show perfectly white. This is due to the chemical rays of the lights used. Out of doors, under sunlight, colors are seen in their own hues.
"You did very well in that funny little scene with Paul," said Ruth to her sister.
"You mean in the swing under the apple tree?"
"Yes."
"I was so afraid he would swing me too high," Alice went on. "He was cutting up so. I told him to stop, but he wouldn't."
"It was very natural. I think it will show well. Hark! what's that?" cried Ruth, leaping to her feet.
"Thunder," suggested Alice, as a distant, rumbling noise came to their ears.
"Sounds more like big guns."
"Oh, that's what it is!" agreed Alice. "They are going to rehearse one of the battle scenes this afternoon, I heard Mr. Pertell say. The soldiers must have come, and they're practising over in the glen. Come on over and watch. We're in on the scenes later, but we can watch now."
"All right," agreed Ruth. "Wait until I get my broad-brimmed hat, the sun is hot up here."
