"Yes. We will be real actresses if we keep on. I wonder what I am cast for?"
"My! We're becoming quite adept in theatrical talk. Ahem!" laughed Alice with pretended sarcasm.
Miss Pennington and Miss Dixon, who were already rehearsing for another play, looked over at the two enthusiastic sisters, and shrugged their shoulders.
"Wait until they have been in it as long as we have, my dear, then they won't be so jolly," remarked Miss Pennington.
"Oh, I don't know as you can include me," was Miss Dixon's rather tart comment. "I haven't been at it so many years."
"Oh, haven't you?" asked Miss Pennington, with a raising of her penciled eyebrows. "Excuse me, my dear!"
"Don't mention it!"
"Get on to that, would you!" exclaimed Pop Snooks to Mr. Sneed. "The two old-timers are scrappin'."
"I knew they would," was the grouchy rejoinder. "They'll have a real quarrel, and both quit, and that'll mean some new members in the company. And just as we are about through rehearsing that piece, and about to film it, too. That means I'll have to do it all over again. I knew something would happen!"
"Oh, cheer up! The worst is yet to come!" laughed Paul Ardite. "Here's Switzer looking as red as a lobster. What is it now, Carl?" he asked.
