Mr. Adolphi joined them within a few minutes. He carried a handful of script with him and handed one section to Janet and another to Helen.
“You understand that this company is comparatively small when you think of the one used in the production of the picture?” he reminded them. “It will be necessary for you to take several parts, but all of them will be minor rôles since I understand neither of you have had any experience in broadcasting.”
The girls nodded their understanding, and the director plunged on.
“We are going to give only the high spots of the film story over the air, but in addition we are going to weave in some of the actual drama and the thrills attached to the shooting of the picture—some of the behind-the-scenes incidents. Understand?”
“We have not been able to get all of this material that we desired and Mr. Newsom has informed me that you have a fair ability at writing.”
This was aimed at Janet and she replied promptly.
“I enjoy writing,” she said, “but the question of ability hasn’t been very well determined yet.”
“But you sold a script for film purposes only recently,” pressed the director.
“Yes, that’s true, but I think it was more luck than anything else.”
