Mr. Holloway had hung up a screen in the downstairs recreation room. The boys gathered in a semi-circle in front of it and waited impatiently for the showing of the film.
The room was darkened. After testing out the focus, Mr. Holloway ran through the first scene that had been taken at the creek.
The Cubs howled with laughter as they watched the duel between Brad and Ross. As the latter tumbled into the water with a mighty splash, their mirth could not be controlled.
“Heck! I don’t think it’s that funny,” Ross protested.
Mr. Holloway ran off other scenes in rapid order. The Cubs remarked that Dan’s acting was especially good and that Brad too had acted his role well.
“What’s that mystery you were telling us about?” Midge demanded when only one more scene remained to be shown.
“Wait and see,” smiled Mr. Holloway. “Watch sharp now.”
Again the room was darkened. Mr. Holloway began the showing of the banquet scene with the castle and forest as background.
“Say, Ross is good as the Sheriff of Nottingham!” exclaimed Midge. “It’s a natural part for him.”
“Like fun!” growled Ross. “I’m to be Robin Hood.”
