It was two days later that Russ said to the actor:
"Can you make it convenient to be at our film studio this evening?"
"I think so—why?" asked Mr. DeVere.
"You'll see when you get there."
"May we come?" asked Ruth.
"Surely," Russ answered. "I think you'll enjoy it, too!"
Rather mystified, but somehow suspecting what was afoot, the two girls accompanied their father to the studio at the appointed hour. Russ met them and took them into the room where the films were first shown after being prepared for the projector. It was a sort of testing room.
"I think you have met this gentleman before," said Russ, as he nodded at one sitting in a corner. It was Dan Merley's lawyer.
